BINGO LOTTERY E-CLAIMS

The Bingo Lottery has introduced e-claims as an option for players to electronically submit winning tickets online to claim a prize. The e-claim option applies to winning tickets up to $10,000. Once the e-claim process is completed and winning tickets are validated, a check will be mailed to players within approximately three to four weeks. For an e-claim to be processed, the Lottery requires proof of identification and other supporting information from the player and the winning ticket. Please see e-claim details below:

E-Claim Details

• E-Claims are for winning tickets up to $10,000 for both retail and iLottery purchased tickets.
• E-Claims are designed to handle winning tickets with only one owner and winning ticket with multiple owners, such as groups, syndicates, corporations, or other multiple claimants, are required to be processed in person at a Lottery claim center.
