How to Claim a Prize

Congratulations
So you've won a Lottery prize. That's terrific! Here's how to claim it.
  • First—and most important—sign the back of your ticket. This prevents anyone else from claiming your prize.
  • You can claim most prizes at any Montana Lottery retailer. Retailers can pay all prizes up to $599. All prizes over $599 must be claimed at Lottery Headquarters either in person or by mail. All prizes may be claimed by mail.
How do I claim a prize by mail?
  • Sign the back of your winning ticket immediately to establish ownership.
  • Print and your name and address on the back.
  • Complete a claim form and mail it, along with your winning ticket, to

    Montana Lottery Prize Payments
    P O Box 6073
    Helena MT 59604-6073

  • We recommend keeping photocopies of your claim form and the front and back of your ticket. We also recommend using certified mail for tickets mailed to the Lottery.
Can I bring my ticket to Helena to claim it?
