Claiming Your lotto Prize Arizona lottoInformation Q: Can you tell me at what store an unclaimed prize ticket was purchased? A: No. Until a prize is claimed, we do not release the name of the store where the ticket was sold. The location is part of the criteria we use for ticket validation. Q: What is the difference between cash and annuity? A: The cash value is approximately one-half the advertised value of the jackpot and is given to the winner in one lump sum. The winner who selects the annuity is paid in equal payments annually for 30 years for Powerball or for 25 years for The Pick. The person who wins the jackpot has the option to choose either the cash or annuity option. The winner has 60 days from the claim date (the date the ticket is presented for validation) in which to make the decision. If the winner chooses cash, the Lottery will issue a check when the ticket is validated. In order to secure the payment process, the Lottery purchases annuities from private companies. Each year, the Lottery prepares and issues a Request for Proposals to solicit the interest of various insurance companies. Companies that qualify through the evaluation process are asked to bid on the annuity payment after each winning jackpot. The company submitting the highest payment offer is selected and will issue the remaining annuity checks. The Arizona Lottery is frequently asked whether players should choose cash or annuity. We can only suggest that financial issues be discussed with a lawyer, CPA, or financial planner. Q: If I win the Arizona Lotto jackpot, do I have the option of remaining anonymous? A: No. The Arizona Lottery is required to release, upon request, the winner’s name, city of residence, game, and amount won. A press release will be sent out to the media when a winner has collected the prize. However, Arizona Lottery jackpot winners are given the option of participating in or declining a press conference and/or publicity. We believe a press conference enhances the winning experience, and it usually eliminates receiving multiple calls from the media. Tax Information
