How To Claim
Any West Virginia Lottery prize under $601
may be claimed in person from any WVL licensed retailer. All prizes
over that amount must be claimed either in person or by mail at the
Lottery's main office in Charleston. Players who live in the northern
part of WV may find it more convenient to visit the Lottery's regional
office in Weirton. All prizes must be claimed within 180 days of a
drawing or declared end of an instant game. For mailed claims, be
certain to sign the winning ticket and include your legible name and
phone number, should we need to contact you. We also require that you
include a copy of a photo ID and in the case of larger prize amounts,
proof of your social security number.
