Q

How do I withdraw funds from my account?

A

The most convenient and recommended way to make withdrawals is by accessing your account on our desktop website.

You can withdraw funds from your account with payment methods you have used previously for payments and/or deposits. You cannot withdraw funds in excess of what you deposited with your payment method due to our adherence to anti-money laundering regulations.

Winnings can be withdrawn with a bank transfer. To request a bank transfer, or for further assistance making withdrawals, please contact our Customer Service team.

Q

What happens when I win the jackpot?

A

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.

Q

How do I receive my winnings?

A

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.

Q

If you encounter any problems, please contact customer support.
