What Happens When I Win?When you win a jackpot, you will have two options as to how you would like to claim your winnings. The first is the most common, where jackpot winners are paid in a series of staggered payments. The second option to claim your winnings is to take a lump sum up-front payment. This figure will be anywhere from 50-80% of your matched jackpot figure. After you win the jackpot and your prize is validated by the Lottery, you will have 60 days to choose the cash value of the prize instead of the staggered payments option.
