Only new York?

So it can be bought worldwide?

With bitcoin payment, it can be bought from every country, the only problem would be if you won a big prize, (you have to be a United States citizen to play this lottery and for this reason you can have problems to cash a big prize). For small prizes i read on another news article that they pay you on btc.

Yes, it is realy a issue. I would't go there. Coz I am not American. I cannot withdraw the big prize. Sk what is the point of playing there. Since there is  a lot of bitcoin accepting and paying gambling sites there for me to choose. Probably it is a good choice for the local ppl. They can hide their identity at some extent.

Good to know that a popular lottery game accept Bitcoin payment. This will generate people interests into learning more about Bitcoin. Hopefully this will get Bitcoin recognized by more people. :). Even though I run a Bitcoin based free lottery game, I dont play paid lottery game. Anyway, if I win I cannot withdraw the money. lol.
