I won a prize, now what do I do?
First, SIGN YOUR TICKET in the space provided on the ticket back! Tickets are bearer instruments, meaning if you lose a ticket before you sign it, you no longer have valid ownership of the ticket. Once your ticket is signed, if the winnings are valued at $500 or less, you may redeem your ticket at any Lottery Retailer. Winnings over $500 up to and including $100,000 may be claimed by mail or at the regional redemption centers listed below. To redeem winnings by mail: fill out a claim form and include a copy of a picture identification card (state I.D., driver’s license, or military I.D.), then mail the signed ticket, the claim form, and the copy of the I.D. (via registered mail) to the Columbia Redemption Center. Winnings over $100,000 up to and including $1,000,000 must be claimed in person at one of our four regional redemption centers. Winnings greater than $1,000,000 must be redeemed in person at the Columbia Redemption Center only.
