If i forgot to sign the back of a scratch off lottery ticket do i still get paid?

Question

i won $10,000 on a bingo scratch off ticket. i mailed it in with my claims paperwork but i forgot to sign the back of the d**n ticket. will they contact me and still give me my money or is it not valid?

am i screwed?

Answer 1

who knows,

they should give you your earnings or send it back so that you can sign it; if they are legit of course

lets just hope.

Answer 2

Congrats on your win, they probably will mail the card back to you to sign and you will then get your money.

Hang tight but $10,000 is on its way to you!

Answer 3

Hi,

I am a lottery retailer working in a convenience store...

...First of all, ALWAYS make copies of your winners before you send them out to the lottery commission...

Since you did file the paperwork, you will be fine...

...But I suggest to make sure you are fine...

1)  Find out WHERE you purchased your ticket.  Get the name of the business & address.

2)  Go to your state's lottery website

3)  Find contact info for your state's lottery commission.

4)  Contact the lottery commission telling them your situation

Also...if you can't find your state's lottery number...you can try this...I live in California and this number works for my state...not sure about your state...

It's 1-800-LOTTERY

Hope that helps...

BJ
