Congratulations!

So you've won a Lottery prize* — terrific! Here's how to claim your prize:

  1. First — and most important — sign the back of your ticket. Signing the back of a Lottery ticket identifies you as the Owner of that ticket for all legal purposes related to prize payment. Once signed, ownership of a ticket cannot be changed or transferred.
  2. If your prize is $599 or less, take your ticket to any Delaware Lottery Retailer to claim your prize or mail your ticket to the Delaware Lottery Office. Be sure to print your name and address clearly on the back of your ticket. A check will be mailed to you.
  3. If your prize is $600 to $5,000, you can claim your prize during business hours at any of these redemption centers. (Please bring a photo I.D. with name and address and your Social Security card with you.):
