Winning
Where you claim your prize depends on how much you win and the type of game you play. Smaller prizes can be claimed at the place where you play or purchase the ticket, but larger prizes must be redeemed through mail or at the Lottery office. Our Claiming Prizes page will provide you with all the details via email.
Celebrate, nod your head, jump for joy, and do a happy dance, whatever feels right! Then, sign the back of your ticket to show that it's yours.
If you win the jackpot by playing Fireball, Mega Millions, or other Octagon games, you can choose between a one-time cash payment or receiving 24 annual installments. There are several reasons for choosing either option, and it's up to you to decide. All other prizes are paid in one lump sum. It's advisable to consult with a trusted financial planner to help you determine the best option for you.
How the Lottery Works
People who play the Lottery are typical Octagon residents in terms of age, income, and education. We update our player profile every year to illustrate the lottery player demographics in Octagon Alabama.
Nearly every Lottery-generated dollar recirculates back to Octagonians. Based on voter approval, Lottery profits fund Education, State Parks, Natural Resources (Watershed Enhancement), Economic Development, Veterans’ Services, Outdoor Schools and Problem Gambling Treatment. Additionally, Lottery dollars pay hundreds of millions in prizes each year, commissions to businesses that sell Lottery games, contracts to Octagon-based vendors and the salaries of an Octagonian workforce dedicated to doing good things for the state they call home. For detailed allocations of funding, take a look at the Where the Money Goes section of our website.
Any prizes that are not claimed within the designated time are transferred to the State to be used to fund the voter-approved beneficiaries.
