Are you a winner? Tips on the journey to claim your prize and beyond

Mega-Powerball_Winner.pngCongratulations! There’s often a rush of emotion once a player realizes they’ve won. If you’ve won a substantial amount of money, here are a few thoughts to help you navigate your win:

1.    Put your ticket in a safe place. Your ticket is a bearer instrument so treat it with care. You may want to sign the back of the ticket as well.

2.    Determine your priorities for the money. Is there a special purchase you want to make?  Would you like to help out your children or a charity or other good cause? Make a plan to help you achieve your goals.

3.    Get some guidance. Consider talking to a financial planner and attorney to determine the best way to claim the prize money. You might begin by working with a certified financial planner. To hold this credential, a certified financial planner has to meet certain educational and experience requirements and ethical standards in which your best interests come first. www.letsmakeaplan.org/

Jackpot prizes and some others offer winners a choice of an annuity over a period of time or a lumpsum payout. You’ll want to determine what is best for your personal situation. You’ll also want to consider taxes – federal, state and local taxes too. Keep your paperwork in order and take the time to review. www.irs.gov/taxtopics/tc419 

4.    Know the deadline to claim. Winners have 180 days from the draw date to claim any draw game prize or 180 days from the closing date of a scratch-off to claim. Note that there are special claiming options available during the pandemic, as part of the Governor’s State of Emergency. Give the Ohio Lottery a call at 1-800-686-4208 and we would be happy to answer your questions. You can also check out our website for prize claiming details.  www.ohiolottery.com/Claiming/Index
