How to Claim Weekday Windfall Prizes

If you win a Weekday Windfall prize, the next step is claiming your money. It's a straightforward process regardless of which division you win.

To find out if you are a winner, you can check your tickets online as soon as the results are available. If you play online, you will be notified automatically if you win and prizes will be paid directly into your account. Even if you win a major prize such as Division 1, this will be added into your account after a two-week provisional period.

Another way to safeguard against missing out on a prize is to sign up to a membership club and use your lottery card when you pay for a ticket. Every purchase is therefore linked to your card and the majority of winnings, apart from Division 1, will be paid into your account. If you did win $1 million on Weekday Windfall, the lottery operator would be able to contact you by phone to alert you of the good news.

Even if you're not a registered member, it is easy to claim prizes. However, you should be aware that all prizes must be claimed in the state where the ticket was purchased. Find out more information for each state below, including how long you have to claim a win and the addresses for postal claims.
