ツ alejandriiukz ㋡ 41 Posted January 13, 2013 I believe in some states they fix your legal status that way you don't go back to your country with the money. 1 Dreamer3oh3 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chris23 19 Posted January 13, 2013 I tought about the same thing too nd Idk about being able to claim Cus when it involves large amount of money they usually ask in back of lotto ticket must be us citizen , or idk if you ever heard of commercial contest on TV, they say must be us citizen to apply nd unfortunately deferred action is not a citizenship or residency.

REPutation 83 Posted January 14, 2013 Lol that's a good question. Maybe it depends on the state, in which one resides. However, I asked my mother and she said as long you have a government issued id and some may require SSN. In Texas this went to the house and the undocumented individual won the case haha.

pswa83 302 Posted January 14, 2013 i dont know if they fix your legal status if you win. i do know in CA, you need not only a valid SSN but also 2 forms of ID. so, i'm thinking that my DL and EAD would work. also found this online. http://www.usamega.com/mega-millions-faq.htm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Danny_963 1 Posted January 18, 2013 I was also wondering this, and im thinking on going to Vegas this summer since i already got approved, and well im planing on wining lots of money lol, but yea i read that you can win the lotto even if you are a non citizen, but the taxes applied to you are higher depending on your state of residency, but who cares really you win 100 mill who cares if they take half i still got 50 more to kill lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
