By law, unclaimed, expired lottery prizes remain in the lottery fund and are used to support programs benefiting older Pennsylvanians. Although some lotteries give players only 90 or 180 days to claim a prize, Pennsylvania Lottery draw game prizes may be claimed on a business day
up to one year from the drawing date.
Lottery officials advised players to check every ticket, every time, using self-service scanners found at retailers or with the Ticket Checker on the Lottery’s Official App. Winning tickets should be signed immediately for proof of ownership.
