Because if I had to go in person I would have to get a passport. Would I have time to do all that, if there is a time limit on picking the winnings up?<BR> <BR> <STRONG> <FONT size=3>The time varies, depending on the particular lottery. For instance, most of the USA lotteries allow 180 days after the draw for you to begin claiming your winnings. In these cases, the key word is "claim"", which means to notify them that you have the winning ticket.<BR> <BR>Congalotto can begin the process for you, and normally pay you directly for smaller winnings. For large winnings, or for winnings over a certain amount, then claim forms need to be filled out.<BR> <BR>There are links to the various lotteries' official sites at <A href="http://loteriasinternational.com.links">http://loteriasinternational.com.links</A> </FONT> </STRONG>http://congalotto.info/2008/10/27/collecting-your-winnings-at-congalotto-online-lottery-service.aspx#comment-2565769Sat, 14 Nov 2009 15:14:22 GMT
