01About this service

About this service

Every Leonida Lottery ticket can be checked at any retailer’s terminal. Small prizes are paid on the spot; larger ones are claimed at a Lottery district office or at headquarters.

Proceeds of the Leonida Lottery go to the State’s education fund. You must be 18 or older to play and to claim.

Who it’s for

  • Players holding a winning draw ticket or scratch-off
  • Groups of coworkers or friends who shared a ticket
  • Retailers who pay prizes at the counter

02How it works

4 steps, start to finish.

  1. Step 1: Sign the back

    Sign your ticket as soon as you buy it. An unsigned ticket belongs to whoever holds it.

  2. Step 2: Check it

    Scan it at any retailer’s terminal or call the winning numbers line.

  3. Step 3: Claim by amount

    Up to $599 at any retailer. From $600 to $1 million at a district office in Vice City, Ambrosia or Port Gellhorn. Above $1 million at Lottery headquarters in Leonida City.

  4. Step 4: Plan for taxes

    Federal tax is withheld from prizes over $5,000. Leonida has no State income tax on prizes.

03What to prepare

Have these ready.

  • The original signed ticket (copies and photos are not accepted)
