我是在美國讀書的學生，除了i20沒有別的文件。我剛才去買了一張mega million彩卷，可是我看到背後寫著如果中獎大於600美金必須要證明positive idenfication及出示ssn才能領獎。
但我沒有ssn，請問是不是白買了。還好一張台幣30而已。

lottery 一般獎項去店鋪領就行了，不用任何證件，大獎則要跟他們的 office 連絡...
外國人中獎也可以領，不用 SSN，別擔心，只是 tax 多一些而已...
If you are not a U.S. citizen or a resident alien, the Lottery is required by federal tax law to withhold additional taxes from your prize. The Lottery is required to withhold federal taxes of 25% for U.S. citizens and resident aliens providing a social security number, and 28% for U.S. citizens and resident aliens not providing a social security number. Players who 30% withheld from all prizes. Federal tax rates are subject to change.

中了後可以拿mega lotory 去ssn office 去辦，話說學生本来就可以辦 ssn
我當年去的時候 SSN 很容易申請，記得 911 事件之後就不再發給外國人 SSN 了，因為之後台灣來的學弟妹們就無法申請了...
只是，不知道後來有沒有改變規定就是了...

Resident alien是指有綠卡身份的外國人，樓主是i-20,大於600是不能直接領的。不過等中了再說吧
應該不是這樣喔...
根據 USA Mega Millions 的 FAQ，就算是非美國籍的外國人，中獎時也可以領獎...
USA Mega Millions FAQ
Q: Can non-US citizens play? What if a non-US citizen wins?
A: Yes, non-US citizens can legally play, and non-US citizens are eligible to win any prize offered in the game.
If a non-US citizen wins, they would claim their prize in the same manner that a US citizen would, but the taxes withheld would be different. For example, federal withholding for non-US citizens is a flat 30%. Also, individual states may have different tax structures for non-US citizens than they do for US citizens. Depending on which country the person is a legal resident of, there also may be tax treaties between the US and that other country which could be helpful in offsetting whatever the US tax liabilities are.
In short, non-US citizens can play and win Mega Millions. If a non-US citizen wins a large prize, they will be responsible for some amount of tax, which in the end will probably be an amount similar to what a US citizen would pay, but there are so many possible variations with international tax codes that you'll need to consult with a local tax attorney if you need to know a precise amount of tax liability
