The US lottery regulations do not establish that you have to be a US citizen to play or win, so it is possible to play from Colombia and other countries. To do it virtually, there are two ways: with a third party or through a bet.
The first of them involves contact a lottery agent to go in person to buy the ticket. The disadvantage in this case is that the envoy will charge a commission on the eventual prize.
The other possibility involves bet the winning numbers on a platform, as if it were a sports bet. In this case there will be no ticket, but the chances of winning a prize are the same.
