DISTRICT OFFICES

When you visit any District Office, you can get help filing your claim for prizes of $600 or more.

Prizes of $1,000 or less are eligible for same-day payment at any of our nine District Offices from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. After your ticket is validated and your Claim Form is approved, you have an opportunity to get your check while you wait. *Same-day check is not guaranteed. Some claims, including but not limited to 2nd Chance prizes, promotional awards, and prizes won on advance plays, may not qualify for same-day payment and will require additional processing at Lottery Headquarters.

Remember to sign the back of your ticket, then bring it to any of our locations listed below Monday to Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., except on state holidays. Same-day payments are only available 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

For prizes $600 and above, players can claim their prize via mail or at their local District Office. For complete instructions on how to claim a prize by mail, please visit the Claim A Prize page. Prizes up to $599 can be claimed at a California Lottery retailer.
