OAR 177-098-0030: Prize Claims

(1) General: A ticket, subject to the validation requirements set forth in these rules and OAR 177-070-0035, is the only proof of a game play or plays and the submission of a winning ticket to the Lottery or an authorized retailer as required by these rules is the sole method of claiming a prize or prizes, except that a Jackpot Prize (and a Match 5 prize) must be claimed in person at Lottery Headquarters or at a Lottery Branch, unless the ticket specifies that it must be claimed at Lottery Headquarters. A play slip, paper receipt, or printed summation of a play printed by a terminal which is not a ticket has no pecuniary or prize value and does not constitute evidence of ticket purchase or of numbers selected. (2) Prize Claims: Mega Millions prize claim procedures are governed by the administrative rules of the Oregon State Lottery. MUSL and the selling lotteries are not responsible for Mega Millions prizes that are not claimed following the proper procedures as determined by the Director.
