It's too late for this draw, but I am sure I read some time ago that you can win a U.S lottery if you are Canadian but you must have been in the state physically and purchased it, you can't buy such a ticket online.
That's what I recall reading, though it may be a state by state situation in regards to such rules and not specific to every lottery.
Many Canadians trust the U.S draws more than the Ontario draws which are computer drawn and impossible to confirm are "on the level". For instance, you can watch the powerball draw live, so you know it's real. In Canada it is an algorithm.
As it were,
Ontario is basically insolvent, so why not support this province first? If not, here are some considerations as provided by our state-run media site, CBC:
