OAR 177-085-0020: Prize Claims

(1) General: A ticket, subject to the validation requirements set forth in OAR 177-085-0040, is the only proof of a game play or plays. The submission of a winning ticket to the Lottery or an authorized retailer as required by OAR 177-046-0110 is the sole method of claiming a prize or prizes, except that a Grand Prize (and a Match 5+0 prize) must be claimed in person at Lottery Headquarters or at a Lottery Branch, unless the ticket specifies that it may be claimed only at Lottery Headquarters. A game slip or a copy of a ticket has no pecuniary or prize value and does not constitute evidence of ticket purchase or of numbers selected. A terminal produced paper receipt, if any, has no pecuniary or prize value and does not constitute evidence of ticket purchase or of numbers selected. (2) Prize Claims: Powerball prize claim procedures are governed by the administrative rules of the Oregon State Lottery. MUSL and the Party Lotteries are not responsible for Powerball prizes that are not claimed following the proper procedures as determined by the Director.
