Retailers, online eligibility and prize claims. Start with the game and the place that issued your ticket.
A winning ticket must be redeemed under the rules of the jurisdiction where it was sold. Deadlines and disclosure rules vary, so use that lottery's official claim instructions.
Continue to the official lottery for retailer search, online eligibility or claims. Your browsing location is not treated as permission to buy.
Lucky Numbers does not sell tickets or collect prizes. Retailer finders open without tracking your location. This checklist is general guidance; current operator eligibility, claim and tax rules take priority.

Official Mega Millions prize rulesA visitor's ability to buy at a U.S. retailer is separate from online residency and location checks. Free number generation or translated guidance does not create a right to purchase from abroad. Tickets must be issued through lawful channels in a selling jurisdiction.
Official visitor and online-sales FAQCalifornia generally gives 180 days for draw-game claims but one year for Powerball and Mega Millions jackpots. These are not nationwide deadlines. In-person, mail, original-ticket and evidence requirements must follow the lottery that issued the ticket.
