How to claim your prize
If you believe you might hold the winning ticket, here's what you need to do:
- Sign the back immediately: Don't waste any time! Sign the back of your ticket with your name, address, phone number, and signature. Remember, a lottery ticket is a bearer document, meaning whoever possesses it is considered the legal owner – unless it's signed by the rightful winner.
- Claim within one year: The Pennsylvania Lottery gives winners one year from the drawing date to claim their prize. Don't let this valuable opportunity slip away – act fast.
- Double check your tickets: Develop the habit of checking all your tickets every single time. You never know when you might be holding a winning ticket!
For a prize this large, the winner must claim it directly from the lottery. First, you need to complete a Claim Form and mail it with your signed ticket (keep copies!) to the address on the form. Alternatively, a winner can visit a PA Lottery Area Office (open 9 am to 4 pm) during business hours.
