Retailer Claim Centers

Congratulations!

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

2. If your prize is $599 or less, take your ticket to any Delaware Lottery Retailer to claim your prize or you can claim your prize in person at the Delaware Lottery Office.
You can also mail your ticket(s) to the Delaware Lottery Office. Be sure to print your name and address clearly on the back of your ticket. Fill out the claim form below and make a copy of the ticket(s) and claim form (or take a clear photo of the front and back, using a smartphone) for your records. To receive winnings by mail, send original ticket(s) and claim form in an envelope addressed to the address below.
