If you've won a Powerball prize, you might be wondering what to do next. On this page, you can find out how to claim your prize if you've played online or if you bought your ticket from an authorized retailer, as the claiming method differs between the two. Learn more about how to claim Powerball winnings.
Please note:
All prizes will be paid directly into your online 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.
How you claim your prize depends on how much you won and where you entered. Prizes can only be redeemed 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. Here’s more about how to redeem your Powerball ticket, whether you win a small prize or the jackpot.
$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
If you’ve won a jackpot prize, players are advised to contact the lottery headquarters for your jurisdiction and claim the prize in person.
Please note that information varies for each state. Always check with your state lottery.
The claim period for Powerball prizes differs by jurisdiction, and it can be anywhere from 90 days to a year. See the table below for the claim period in your state. If you do not come forward within this time the prize money will be redistributed according to the lottery’s regulations. Some state lotteries also allow you to claim by mail, but you may need to download or obtain a claim form to mail along with your ticket.
