Claiming prizes
Here's the process for claiming Pennsylvania Lottery prizes.
Prizes from online subscriptions will be automatically credited to your Pennsylvania Lottery account. Winnings over $600 will take longer to be credited as they need to undergo more thorough checks.
Powerball and Mega Millions jackpots, Cash4Life annuity top or second-level prizes, and annuity prizes for scratch-off games must be claimed in person.
Winnings in your Pennsylvania Lottery account can be withdrawn using ACH/eCheck, PayPal, or Play+.
To claim a prize by mail, send the signed winning ticket to:
Claims Department
PA Lottery
PO Box 8671
Harrisburg, PA 17105-8671
For mail claims over $600, you must also include a completed claim form.
Keep a copy of all claim documents for your records.

About the Pennsylvania Lottery
The Pennsylvania State Lottery was established in 1971, and tickets went on sale in 1972. The state offers a number of daily draw and jackpot games. Players can also take part in the Powerball and Mega Millions multi-state lotteries.
Pennsylvania is the only state lottery that designates all its proceeds to programs that benefit older residents. To date, billions of dollars have been contributed to programs such as low-cost prescription assistance, senior centers and meals, care services, and property tax rebates.
