To see if they’ve won a prize, players can review the ticket, or scan it at a Lottery retailer or with the Ticket Checker feature on the lottery’s Official App. The holder of a top prize-winning Fast Play ticket should immediately sign the back of the ticket and call the Lottery at 1-800-692-7481.

Prizes must be claimed, and tickets validated before winners can be identified. Fast Play prizes must be claimed within one year of the ticket purchase date. All lottery prizes more than $5,000 are subject to applicable withholding.
