Customers from any country, including Iran, can participate in all our lotteries. You may experience problems with some payment options though, depending on your country of residence. Our credit card processor works for almost all countries in the world, including Iran, but you must have a Visa or Mastercard. Cards from the Shetab network cannot be used through this payment provider. But we are in the process of establishing a different solution especially for our Iranian customers, see below. To participate in one of the lotteries, just click on one of the lotteries ("Play"), pick your numbers and then click on "Pay". Next, you will be guided through the registration process. Just enter your email address and a password and click "Submit". After that, we will send an email to you which includes a confirmation link. Click that link to activate your client account. Please do not forget to check your "Unknown" and "Spam" folder if you do not see our email right away. After that, you can make a payment for the tickets you ordered. Choose one of the payment methods that we have on our site, such as credit card, Paypal, bank transfer, Bitcoin, Skrill, Neteller, Paysafecard, etc. If you are a resident of Iran, you may have found it difficult to deposit money at RedFoxLotto, or pay for tickets. Iranian credit cards, unfortunately, do not work on our site. If you have a Visa or Mastercard from a different country, you can use it, but you will have to use a Virtual Private Network (VPN) to log in via an IP address from the country where your credit card was issued. Read the instructions below to find out how to get and use a VPN. Payment methods available to Iranian residents As most of our payment methods currently cannot be used by Iranian residents due to the US sanctions, we suggest that you consider opening a Bitcoin wallet in order to process payments and withdrawals. In any case, once you have a Bitcoin wallet, you still need to use a VPN before making a payment at RedFoxLotto. More info on that below. There is another option for you to deposit money into your account at RedFoxLotto, and that is Paysafecard. Those cards are not for sale in Iran, but if you have a friend or relative living outside Iran, they can buy one for you. They will get a paper printout with a code. Your friend can then email you that code, and you can use it to deposit money at RedFoxLotto. Those Paysafecards can have any value that you want. Important: Before you deposit or pay via Paysafecard, make sure that you use a VPN as described below! How to use a Virtual Private Network (VPN) If you are in Iran, it is important that you use a VPN (Virtual Private Network) to change your IP address before you make your transaction on RedFoxLotto. If you do not have one already, you should get one. For this, there are two options: Go to PureVPN (click this link), get your VPN, install the software on your computer. This is not a free service, but it is quite reliable, and you can use it for many things. It protects your privacy and helps avoid internet censorship. A free alternative would be to install Opera (click here to download). This is a very popular browser software that comes with a free VPN. Make sure that you enable the VPN in the settings of Opera after installation. This is how you proceed to make a purchase : Close your browser first Start your VPN Choose a country (do not use USA or The Netherlands, we suggest Norway, France or Belgium) Restart your browser (if you use Opera, you can skip steps 1-3 and just start the built-in VPN and connect) If you want you can use https://whatismyipaddress.com/ to double-check your current IP address Log in to your account at RedFoxLotto, buy your tickets Then choose Bitcoin to pay. You can also deposit money into your RedFoxLotto account via Bitcoin first, and then pay for tickets from your balance. Make sure you are connected to your VPN the whole time. What happens if I win, and how do I withdraw money? Any winnings up to € 2500 will be automatically transferred to your user account on our website. From there you can withdraw the won amount. Please keep in mind that you can only use a method that you have previously used to pay for a ticket or a deposit! If you win an amount higher than €2500, you can get paid to a bank account of your choice, or you can get a check, which you can cash in at any bank. We are not sure whether a bank in Iran can cash in a check from a foreign country though. But there is always the option to use a bank account in a different country if, for example, you have a trustworthy friend or family member living outside Iran. For a bank transfer, we are going to need some documents for verification. Our support will contact you with more details. What if I win a very large sum or even the jackpot? In such a case, if you reside in Iran, we would strongly suggest that you should be in contact with us and arrange a time and place where you can pick up your lottery ticket in person. Then you would have to present the ticket to the lotto commission. They will then pay you with a check. An Iranian bank will probably not be able to cash in such a check. Your best option would then be to choose a country where you can open a bank account (maybe a tax haven like the Cayman Islands), travel there and find a friendly bank. They will probably be happy to open a bank account for you and issue a credit card that can be used anywhere in the world to access your funds. What about taxes in the country of the lottery? In the US, if a foreigner wins an amount of over $ 1 million, the lottery will deduct 30% from your winnings and transfer it to the tax authorities. Most European lotteries are tax-free. What about taxes in Iran? We cannot help you with this question. It is impossible for us to know what the tax regulations are in various countries. You should discuss this with an accountant who is familiar with the tax regulations in your country of residence.

First of all, congratulations on your lottery win! You probably already know how much your prize is, but one question remains: how much will I actually get paid? And that depends, of course, on how much will be deduced for fees, taxes, etc. For this, there are several scenarios. Before we talk about those scenarios, we would like to mention some important facts regarding our services at RedFoxLotto. First, we do not deduct any commissions from your winnings. We process your lottery winnings free of charge, even if we handle the contact with the lottery authority on your behalf. Some online lottery operators may charge a percentage of your winnings - we believe that this is not a good business model. There may be a charge for processing your payments, especially if you decide that the money should be sent to you via bank transfer. Such a charge would be whatever the bank we send money from charges us. Your own bank may also charge a fee on their end. Other payment processors may charge fees for money transfers as well. In any case, those charges will be rather insignificant smaller amounts. Bank transfers across borders can be expensive. That means that it does not make much sense to withdraw an amount smaller than 50€ via bank transfer, because you would only receive a much smaller amount in your account after deduction of fees. You won your local lottery If you played the lottery in the traditional way, by purchasing your ticket at a lotto shop in your own country, then the tax question has a rather simple answer: the laws of your country apply. If lottery winnings are free of tax in your country, you have nothing to worry about. If your law says you have to pay taxes, well then there is no way around paying them. Two things can happen, depending on how your lottery authority handles things. Either the lottery authority deducts the taxes on those winnings right away and transfers the due tax to the government, or they pay you the full amount but they will also notify your tax authorities about your winning. In the second case, you will have to declare your winnings and pay the taxes yourself. Now let's talk about the situations you may find yourself in after buying your lottery ticket here at RedFoxLotto and you won a prize. As a matter of fact, playing foreign lotteries online has more advantages than the simple fact that you can go for bigger international jackpots! The lottery you played online deduces the taxes right away In this scenario, you will get paid the amount that remains after taxes. For example, if you were to win the Powerball or Mega Millions jackpot as a foreigner, 30% of your winnings will be taken by the US tax authorities. If you think that this is too much, well residents of the US have to pay 25% in government taxes plus another 14,6% in federal taxes. What about Euromillions and Eurojackpot, are those tax-free? For these two lotteries, whether winnings are tax-free or not depends on where the tickets were bought. In the UK, Austria, Belgium, France, Ireland, and Luxembourg lottery winnings are not taxed. In Spain and Portugal, you will have a 20% deduction for taxes, and in Switzerland, it's 35%. At RedFoxLotto, we buy tickets for Euromillions and Eurojackpot only in countries that do not charge taxes on winnings locally. You still have to check your local tax situation - see below. The same 20% tax would be applied if you were to win a large amount in either El Gordo or La Primitiva of Spain. The lottery you won at pays out tax-free That is the best that can happen to you. You get the full amount paid out, and all you have to worry about is what to do with the money and about the tax laws at home. But be sure to read the following as well. What about taxes in my country of residence? Well, first of all, you have to check your local tax laws. If your government taxes lottery winnings, you will have to declare and pay them as soon as the money enters the country. But there is one thing you also need to know: does your country of residence have a "double taxation treaty" with the country of the lottery? If it does, that means that if you have already paid taxes on your lottery prize in the country where the lottery is held, you do not have to pay those taxes one more time at home. There is one important thing to consider though: is the tax rate in your country higher than the tax rate of the country holding the lottery? Let's say you won 10 million in the US, so the US taxman deduces 30%. If the tax in your country is 40%, you may have to pay the difference of 10% at home. What else can I do after winning a lottery jackpot in a foreign country? Please do not take this as valid legal advice, but think about this: If you win the jackpot in the US or any other large amount in any other country outside your country of residence, then you may want to travel to that country and pick up your check in person. At this point, you could decide not to return to your home country right away. How about a well-deserved vacation in a nice and sunny place like, for example, the Cayman Islands? We are sure most financial institutes there will be happy to provide you with advice on what to do with that check…

So you purchased a ticket for Euromillions and now you want to check whether you have won something. There are several ways to go about it. You just have to choose which way you want to do it. Whenever I want to check my Euromillions, I want a little suspense. Ideally, I'd like to watch the draw live on TV, but that is not always an option. First off, I do not live in a country where Euromillions tickets can be bought at the lotto shop. More about that later … So, the draw is not being televised where I live, and also I don't want to sit in front of the TV and wait until the draw is happening. This is what I do: Watch the Euromillions draw on Youtube to find out if you have won Checking whether you have won something at Euromillions while the draw is happening is, of course, the most suspenseful way to do it. But if you have missed the draw (which is held on Tuesdays and Fridays in Paris, at 20.45 CET, by the way), you can still watch the draw by streaming it on Youtube. Just use the search function for "Euromillions draw (date)" and you can watch the latest draw and compare the drawn numbers to your ticket. Wait for the next day's newspaper Well, that is certainly the worst way to do it. Plus, chances are that your newspaper does not even have the Euromillions results. There are better alternatives. Visit RedFoxLotto There are a number of websites where you can check the results for Euromillions. Ideally, the site you use should display the winning numbers soon after the draw, but most sites have a delay of up to several hours before they publish the outcome. Not so with RedFoxLotto.com - click this link to see the Euromillions draw results. Draw results are being updated almost in real-time here - just after the draw is finished, you can see the winning numbers here. They also list the amounts won in the 13 different prize tiers, plus an estimate of the jackpot for the next draw. And here's the best part: If you do not live in one of the "official" Euromillions countries, you can still get a ticket online. RedFoxLotto.com is an online service for the World's largest lotteries. They will help you get a ticket not only for Euromillions. They also have Eurojackpot, Powerball USA, Mega Millions USA, Superenalotto Italy, El Gordo of Spain and many others. All you have to do is select a lottery, click the numbers you want to play and pay online. It's really that simple. Once you have bought your ticket with them, there is an even easier method to check if one of your Euromillions tickets has the winning numbers on them. After the draw results are out, just log in to your RedFoxLotto account, click on "My tickets". You will see your tickets with the numbers you picked, and all the numbers that match the relevant draw results are highlighted. That way, you can never miss a win. And actually, when you won something, RedFoxLotto will also send you an email telling you that there is a winning ticket sitting in your account. In conclusion, if you cannot buy Euromillions tickets locally, then your best option is RedFoxLotto, where you can buy tickets for the largest lotto jackpots on the planet, and at the same time easily check your Euromillions ticket against the actual winning numbers!

Whenever you buy something online, you will probably end up with a choice of multiple payment methods. But which one should you choose? To help you find the best method, we will take a look at some of the options and give you information about them our evaluation will mainly be based on three criteria: Security Transaction fees Convenience This article is mostly about payment methods you could use while buying online lottery tickets. But the information is also pertinent to all other goods you may want to buy on the internet. Whether you buy material goods at an online sales site, or digital products of any kind, knowing the upsides and downsides of the best online payment methods is important. Some first thoughts For obvious reasons, your choice of payment method for online lotto will often depend on whether you actually have funds in the account you want to use. If you make online purchases on a regular basis, it is a good idea to always keep some funds in your accounts with the payment services you use often. When you buy online lotto tickets regularly or do other kinds of online gambling, it is important to know that Skrill and Neteller are mostly used for gambling purposes. Therefore, if you do not have an account with either of these two, we recommend that you should register one. That way, you can easily transfer funds, withdraw winnings and stay in control of your gambling transactions by keeping those funds in one single site. Another great option to get the same effect would be a dedicated prepaid credit card. One of the reasons why I prefer Skrill for all types of gambling is the fact that they will even issue you a prepaid debit card that is connected to your Skrill account. So whenever you want, you can even cash out some of your Skrill funds from an ATM machine. One important factor to consider when you choose your online payment method The factor that is often overlooked is the question of the currency the sales site uses. Let's say you buy at a site where prices and invoices are set in US dollars, but then you use a Paypal account set in Euros to pay. Then, on top of the fees that Paypal charges for the transaction, you have to think about the exchange rate. Changing money from one currency to another at your local bank will always cost you money. And some payment processors give you exchange rates that sometimes can be up to 6% worse than what you would pay at your bank! Now let's take a look at some of the payment options: Credit card The most frequently used method for all kinds of payments. Moderate fees, good security and very convenient. But there is always a certain danger of spending too much money (unless you use a debit card, see above). Also, maybe you do not want your gambling transactions to show in your credit card statements. RedFoxLotto offers this payment method for all transactions (in rare cases, country restrictions may apply). Bank transfer The cheapest way to pay online, and very convenient too, but not all online sales sites offer it. Depending on how it works on the sales site, funds can take a few days before they arrive at the destination. Usually, there is no way to dispute a payment once it has been initiated. At RedFoxLotto.com, we use an instant bank transfer method. That means that if you use it, the funds will be deposited in your RedFoxLotto account within seconds. Skrill Great method, especially for online gambling purposes of all kinds. Moderate fees, excellent security. This is the most convenient method in my personal opinion, especially if you get their prepaid Skrill debit card. Neteller Similar to Skrill, including the option of a prepaid debit card. They recently increased their fees, which makes Skrill the better choice. Dusupay A great option for residents of most African countries, or people who do business with African companies. Cool mobile phone wallet. Not sure about security though. Paysafecard This is by far the safest method and the least convenient one at the same time. You can buy a card with a pin code worth a specific amount of money at a shop close to you, paying cash. Paysafecards are for sale in 48 countries across the globe - that is, if there is a shop close to you. Simply go to the website www.paysafecards.com, set the country you are in, and your location. There is an easy search function helping you find shops in your neighborhood where you can buy those cards. Then, you enter the pin code at the sales site, and the value of the card is credited to your account. No fees (paid by the merchant). This is a one-way service, no withdrawal possible. Ecopayz A service similar to Skrill (including the debit card), but their focus is a little less on gambling and more on sales and international money transfers.

Every international lottery has its own structure. When we talk about structure we mean the following factors: the total of numbers to choose from in the pool the number of main numbers you have to pick how many "extra" numbers (like the Powerball number) you must add how many prize levels or tiers there are how many matching numbers you need to win the different prize tiers Also, you will want to know the probabilities (odds) for winning any of the abovementioned prize tiers. We have prepared two tables for you that contain an overview of the most important facts for both Powerball and Mega Millions. Payout chart table for Mega Millions Prize Tiers Prize amount Probability of winning 5 matching + Powerball number Jackpot 1 in 292,201,338 5 matching + Powerball number $1,000,000 1 in 11,688,054 4 matching + Powerball number $50,000 1 in 913,129 4 matching $100 1 in 36,525 4 matching + Powerball number $100 1 in 14,494 3 matching $7 1 in 580 2 matching + Powerball number $7 1 in 701 1 matching + Powerball number $4 1 in 92 0 matching + Powerball number $4 1 in 38 In total, 1 in 24 Mega Millions tickets win one of the prizes from the chart. Payout chart table for Powerball 5 matching + Mega Ball number Jackpot 1 in 302,575,350 5 matching + Mega Ball number $1,000,000 1 in 12,607,306 4 matching + Mega Ball number $10,000 1 in 931,001 4 matching $500 1 in 38,792 4 matching + Mega Ball number $200 1 in 14,547 3 matching $10 1 in 606 2 matching + Mega Ball number $10 1 in 693 1 matching + Mega Ball number $4 1 in 89 0 matching + Mega Ball number $2 1 in 37 In total, 1 in 24 Mega Millions tickets win one of the prizes from the chart We hope that those charts help you with estimating your chances of winning in either of these lotteries. Get your winning ticket now, and best of luck to you!

Many lotto fans consider watching the lotto numbers being drawn live as an essential part of the attraction. This is certainly also the case for Euromillions and Eurojackpot. If you live in one of the countries that officially participate in those lotteries, then your local or national TV certainly broadcasts either the Eurojackpot or the Euromillions draw, possibly both. But if you had to buy your Euromillions or Eurojackpot ticket online, that means you do not reside in one of those countries. In consequence, you may not have access to any of those TV stations that have live coverage of the drawing events. So, what other options are there? Where to watch the drawing on TV? The solution is quite simple: watch the video of the drawing on www.youtube.com! Use their search function and type in, for example, " Euromillions drawing live" and you will find a number of live streams to watch. And in case you have missed the exact time and the drawing is already over, use the same search function and type, for example, Eurojackpot drawing" and the date of the drawing. You will find lots of videos for those drawings. When is the Eurojackpot and Euromillions draw? If you want to watch the numbers for Eurojackpot and/or Euromillions being drawn live and in real-time, it is important to know the drawing times. You can find that information below, but watch out for the time zone! Depending on your location, you may have to add or subtract a few hours to the times: Euromillions drawings are Tuesday and Friday at 21.15 h Central European Time. Eurojackpot has only one weekly drawing, which is held at 21.00 h Central European time.

If you have bought tickets for the Powerball and/or Mega Millions lottery, then you are certainly looking forward to finding out if your numbers have won. Of course, you can simply come back to our website to look at the results. But watching the drawing live on TV will certainly add to the fun, and of course, if you like the suspension, you do not want to miss it. If you are not in the US, then you have probably bought your ticket online here at www.RedFoxLotto.com. In this case, you must always bear in mind that both lotteries are in a different timezone - see below! When is the Powerball and Mega Millions drawing? Powerball drawing time is Wednesday and Saturdays 10.59 p.m. (22.59 h) EST, which corresponds to 5.59 p.m. (17.59 h) Central European time Mega Millions drawing time is Tuesday and Friday 11.00 p.m. (23.00 h) EST, which corresponds to 6.00 p.m. (18.00 h) Central European time Which TV channels broadcast Powerball and Mega Millions draw? The draw for both lotteries is broadcast all across the US by a number of TV channels, such as NBC, ABC, Fox, Telemundo, CBS and many more. But if you live in a different country, chances are that you are not getting those channels. But there is another option for lotto fans from countries outside the United States Drawing for Powerball and Mega Millions on Youtube live streams All you have to do is go to www.youtube.com, enter "Powerball drawing live" and you will find a number of live streams you can watch. The upside of Youtube is that if the drawing of Mega Millions or Powerball has already been done, you can still watch it as a video file. Instead of checking the results on a website, you can still have the suspense of a "live" drawing, although it is not in real-time but recorded.

Why is it better to buy your tickets online? Like most things, buying online instead of the classical way of purchasing in a shop has become increasingly popular with lottery fans as well. Not only is it more convenient, but online lottery services also offer a wider variety of options. Buying lottery tickets in your shop will work for you if you want to participate in your local or national lottery only. The problem is that you are paying the same amount of money for a ticket, no matter how high the jackpot prize is. Here at RedFoxLotto.com, we have more lotteries to choose from. In fact, with our service, you can participate in all of the biggest lotteries of the World. Having more jackpots to choose from means that you can simply pick the biggest ones at any given moment. That means that for the same price, you get a better deal! Buying your tickets in a safe environment There are a few criteria you need to check for your own safety. Some are about your payment, some about the service itself. Here is a list of things that an online lottery service should have. By the way, we can assure you that at RedFoxLotto, we take the safety of our clients very seriously, and our service has all the safety criteria covered. SSL protocol - whenever you make a financial transaction of any kind via a website, this is the first thing you need to check.

Safe payment methods - The more payment methods are available, the safer it is for you.

Paypal has a very strict policy about who they work with, so the fact that they are on board at RedFoxLotto is a strong indicator that you are very safe here. Aside from security, are there any legal issues playing the lottery online? No. Of course, you have to be of legal age to play, like with any lottery. Other than that, there are no legal issues. Let's assume you live in a country where, for any kind of reason, it is illegal to hold lotteries. You can still buy tickets online for lotteries that are being held in a different country, like the United States, or any European lottery. The only thing that matters is that you need to be able to pay online, using any of the methods we are offering. And if you win, you can have your payment transferred via any of our payment processors. If your security (and the safety of your funds) are an issue, you could, for example, use Bitcoin both for your deposit and withdrawal. That way, you are guaranteed that your winnings would be safe from governmental or fiscal oversight.

That means that you do not have to concern yourself with security issues. Buying tickets for worldwide lotteries online is a 100% safe thing to do if you use our service.

The chances of winning the top prize are different for each lottery. You will hear the term odds sometimes, but basically, the meaning is the same. The mathematical term is probability. Calculating the chance of winning the lottery is actually quite a complex mathematical formula. But let me give you a few basics first. Probability is either expressed in a percentage or as "1 in xxxxx". For example, when you throw a single dice, the probability of the dice showing 2 is one in six or app. 16,666%. If you were to throw two dice, the probability of them showing 2 and 2 would be 1 divided by six, divided by six again, resulting in 2,777%, or one in 36. Calculating the winning chances for the lottery is a bit more complicated than that. First of all, once one number has been drawn, it cannot be drawn one more time, so probabilities change after each number has been drawn. Also, the various lotteries have pools with a different total of numbers to draw from, and a different count of numbers to be drawn. Powerball has 69 numbers total, and 5 numbers are being drawn. Then there is the Powerball number, which can be between 1 and 26. You need all 6 numbers to win the jackpot. So what are the exact probabilities for the various lotteries? I will spare you the exact formula to calculate the probabilities. For most lotteries, you can find it on their respective website. To make things easier for you, I have set up a simple table for the probabilities to win the jackpot at the biggest lotteries, all of which you can play online here at RedFoxLotto.com Name of Lottery - chance/odds to win the jackpotPowerball 1 in 292 MillionMega Millions 1 in 259 MillionEuro Millions 1 in 139 MillionEurojackpot 1 in 95,3 MillionSuperenalotto 1 in 622 MillionLa Primitiva 1 in 14 MillionUK Lottery 1 in 45 Million In order to decide which lottery you should play, you should look at both the odds and the size of the current jackpot. The lottery with the higher (worse) odds tends to reach a higher jackpot because the jackpot will not be won for a longer period of time. But whenever one of the lotteries with the "better" odds, such as Eurojackpot, reaches a sizable jackpot, that is a good moment to play. If you want to invest your money wisely, you should look at the risk versus reward ratio before you choose a lottery. Good Luck!

If you have a Bitcoin wallet, then you are probably already using it for all sorts of online payments. The use of Bitcoin makes the most sense when avoiding governmental supervision is important. That is why Bitcoin has become increasingly popular for all kinds of online games and gambling. While buying a lottery ticket is widely accepted and not considered to be gambling, many governments are quite suspicious of any gambling activity online. The reason is quite obvious - most countries run their own, government-operated lotteries. Those are meant to generate revenues for the government itself. Of course, any other activity is considered as competition. They may pretend that they have to try and regulate such online activities for your protection, but the real reason is that they fear a loss of income and taxes. That is also one of the main reasons why government organizations and banks have been bad-mouthing Bitcoin since its inception. They live in fear of a World where Bitcoin allows its population to transfer money in a way that cannot be controlled by them! Advantages of Bitcoin payments for online lottery tickets First off, there is the advantage of anonymity. If you were to live in a country where gambling is illegal, you can still buy lottery tickets, because a Bitcoin payment cannot be monitored by the authorities. Also, if you win, you can receive your winnings in Bitcoin as well, so no taxes (although in most countries, a lottery win is tax-free anyways). Another aspect is transaction fees - they are significantly lower when you use Bitcoin. Important: you still need to connect via VPN before making payments via Bitcoin, read this article to find out how to do that. For which lotteries can I use Bitcoin? You can use your Bitcoin wallet for any of the lotteries that we offer tickets for here at RedFoxLotto.com. And if you do not have a Bitcoin wallet yet, maybe now is a good time to get one. There are so many ways in which having a Bitcoin wallet is very convenient!
