Yes, it is totally legal and the company that operates the website Win Millions Lotto, is fully licensed.
There are several differences between Powerball and Powerball+. With Powerball+, (i) tickets can only be purchased outside of the USA, (ii) tickets are based on placing a bet on the outcome of Powerball draws, (iii) play is 100% online, and (iv) there is no Power Play.
The biggest difference, however, is that Powerball+ jackpots start at $500 million, 25x bigger than the $20 million for Powerball.
