What you’ll need to claim your prize

1. Signed winning ticket
2. Accepted form of ID
3. Prize claim form (now available in multiple languages)

ID is now required to claim your prize. This will help ensure that your prize is issued to the correct person—you! You will need to provide a photocopy of your qualifying identification document(s) along with your winning ticket and claim form.

To claim your prize by mail:

1. Sign the back of your winning ticket.
2. Complete the Prize Claim Form.
   Be sure to keep a copy for your own records.
3. Create a copy of your chosen form(s) of ID. See the accepted forms of ID here.
4. Put the Prize Claim Form, form(s) of ID, and your signed original winning ticket in an envelope. All three are required to process your claim.*
5. Mail it to the Lottery at the address below.

Please only send claims to the Salem office address above. Mail-in claims are not processed at the Wilsonville payment center. Note: Because we need your physical winning ticket, we are unable to accept claims by fax or email. 

Using certified mail allows you to track your claim and verify its receipt. Note: Insurance is NOT available for lottery tickets when sent by US mail or other delivery services. The Lottery is not responsible for lost or stolen tickets.  

Once we get your claim form and ticket, we’ll start the process of issuing your check. Payments will be processed and mailed typically within 14 days.

*Winning tickets sent without an accompanying Prize Claim Form or valid ID will be retained until these are received. We cannot issue prize payments without a signed claim form and ID.
