Metro Manila (CNN Philippines) — Popular multi-state American lottery Mega Millions is offering a huge jackpot prize of US$323 million (₱16 billion) in its upcoming draw this Friday night.

There is no need for Philippine-based bettors to travel to the United States to take a chance on winning the great Mega Millions jackpot. Simply play the game by purchasing official Mega Millions tickets online at theLotter, the world's leading online lottery ticket purchasing service

"The best part about playing lotteries online at theLotter? Our customers don't just play lotteries - they also win them!" said theLotter's spokesman Adrian Cooremans. "Many Filipino players have won prizes while playing with theLotter.com. We have yet to have a jackpot winner from the Philippines, but who knows. That could change in this week's Mega Millions draw."

TheLotter offers Filipinos the opportunity to play Mega Millions with a single line for less than US$5 (₱250).

You don't have to be a US resident to play the Mega Millions

"The rules of US lotteries state that you do not have to be a citizen or a resident to play the game," Cooremans explained. "Our past winners from Europe, Australia, Canada, Latin America, and even the Philippines all received their prizes in full in accordance with American lottery rules and regulations."

How theLotter works

TheLotter.com is a lottery ticket messenger service. It uses local agents in the United States to buy official lottery tickets on behalf of its customers from all over the world. A small surcharge is added to ticket prices to cover the cost of this service. The ticket is scanned and uploaded to a customer's account before the draw. With this scanned version of the ticket and email confirmation, customers can rest assured that they have full ownership of their tickets.

TheLotter provides a dedicated support team, available 24/7, to help customers with any concerns.

Here's how you could win a $323 million jackpot from the Philippines:

1. Sign up at theLotter.com.

2. Select the Mega Millions lottery.

3. Choose 5 numbers (from 1-70) on the playing form.

4. Choose 1 'Mega Ball' number (from 1-25) in the orange field on the form.

5. Confirm your ticket purchase.

Filipinos who buy their official Mega Millions tickets online at theLotter participate in the draw under the same conditions as if they were buying their tickets in the United States, with the exact same chances of winning the jackpot.

What happens when you win

If you are lucky enough to win, your prize will be transferred to your secure, private account and you can withdraw it at any time. If you win the Mega Millions jackpot, you'll need to fly to the United States to collect your prize in person, but in this case, theLotter will probably pay your travel expenses. You'll receive the entire amount of your prize, less applicable taxes, with no commissions taken!

Filipinos can win international lottery prizes

Many Filipino players have won prizes while playing with theLotter.com. Along with those who have won smaller lottery prizes, one of theLotter's biggest Filipino winners was a woman named Christina R. who claimed a €150,979.68 (P7.5 million) Spanish La Primitiva prize in July 2016.

Over the years, theLotter has paid out over US$100 million in prizes to more than 6 million winners from across the globe.

"Our biggest winners are a woman from Panama who won $30 million playing the Florida Lotto in July 2017; and a man from Baghdad who won a $6.4 million jackpot in August 2015 playing Oregon Megabucks," Cooremans said. "Get your tickets now!"
