An international wire is like $25. Basically free if your sending 6 million.

Your going to shafted more on the hourly exchange rate changes then any kind of transfer fee.

I was talking more about the 239,839,384 times you don't win. So $25 fee on a $10 ticket is $35.... Plus your time, profit, taxes, etc.

You pay for the ticket with a debit card on Visa or MasterCard network, 3% at the absolute horrifically worst then get your winnings wired. So like $10.30. Once again, you're going to loose A LOT more on exchange rate changes than any money moving fee.
