How to Play the Lottery (FAQ)

Some lotteries allow winners to remain completely anonymous, while others require some degree of public disclosure. For lotteries that require a winner to disclose their identity, it is often for transparency purposes. By making public the identities of winners, a lottery can show that the winners are real, have no connection to the lottery, and that all ticket holders have an equal chance of winning.

Winners who wish to remain anonymous for security reasons may be able to receive an exemption to a lottery's disclosure requirements.

Regardless of a lottery's specific disclosure requirements, theLotter will never disclose a winner's identity without their consent.

Winning a substantial amount of money has life changing implications and theLotter whole heartedly recommends that winners consult with financial and legal experts to fully prepare for and take advantage of their good fortune.

Secondary winnings will be transferred to your account after receipt of the prize from the official lottery operator. Some lotteries have different prize collection procedures. In these cases, Customer Service will guide you through the collection process until you receive your winnings. You may use your winnings for future participation in lottery draws or withdraw all, or part of the winnings with your designated payment method.

Jackpot winners may be required to collect the prize in person from the official lottery operator, in which case theLotter may choose to fly the winner there. If you are the winner of a major lottery prize you will be given information how to collect your prize.

Winners of non-cash prizes offered by lotteries and raffles will receive the monetary value of the prize.

To cash out funds from your account, please Withdraw and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the transaction.

If you encounter any problems, or have any special requests, please contact Customer Support

When you win the jackpot, we will immediately notify you and a member of our customer service will contact you directly to coordinate the collection of your prize. In the case of a jackpot win, theLotter may choose to pay your travel expenses to the location where the ticket was purchased. There, you will receive the ticket from our local office manager in the presence of theLotter's legal team and proceed to the official lottery organisation to collect your prize in person.

If you win a lottery prize on tickets purchased at theLotter, non-identifying information (first name, first letter of your last name, and country of residence) will be automatically published in the Winners section on the homepage of our site. If you wish to cancel this display, please contact customer service. If you win a lottery jackpot, the requirements of the official lottery organisation apply.
