Online prizes

All prizes will be paid directly into your lottery account. You should receive a notification or email that will tell you if you have won a prize. The details can also be viewed in your account, after your numbers have been checked against the results. You can then decide whether to withdraw the winnings or put them towards future entries.

Prizes from a retailer

How you claim your prize depends on how much you won and where you entered. Prizes can only be claimed in the state in which the winning ticket was bought. Smaller prizes can usually be claimed from lottery retailers, but if a store doesn't have enough cash to pay you out, you may be referred to a different retailer or claim center.

$599 and under

Prize payouts less than $600 can normally be claimed from an authorized lottery retailer. Check with your local retailer for their store policies, as some stores may not carry enough cash for prizes of more than $100 or have guidelines about the amount of cash that is available to staff.

Winnings can also be claimed by mail. To claim your prize by mail, simply mail the ticket alongside some ID and a winner claim form, which is available from your local lottery office. Mail it to the address as provided by the state lottery office for your jurisdiction.

$600 and over

Payouts that are $600 or more can be claimed from a local district office, claim center or lottery headquarters.

Prizes can also be claimed by mail, with the address provided from your state lottery office. The maximum prize amount that can be claimed by mail varies from state to state. Check with your local lottery office for more information.

Jackpot Winners
