Due to the Coronavirus outbreak, there have been some changes in the way you claim prizes in Maryland. You can find updates on our dedicated Coronavirus Lottery Updates page.

Maryland is one of a handful of states that lets winners remain anonymous. The winner's name and photo are not released without written permission.

Winners may claim prizes of any amount by mail; see details below. Lottery tickets worth $600 or less can also be claimed at authorized Maryland Lottery retailers.

For all prizes over $600, you'll need to bring photo ID, proof of your Social Security or Tax ID number and your signed winning ticket when you claim.

Prizes worth between $601 and $5,000 can be claimed at Expanded Cashing Authority (XCAP) centers across the state.
