Lotto Tickets

Lotto Ticket back sideThe following information is printed on the back of lotto tickets sold in Iowa:

"Players should check tickets prior to leaving Lottery retailer. Make sure your ticket represents the game, numbers, and drawings you want. Players are responsible for checking their own tickets.

Sign ticket before checking it or claiming your prize. Parent or guardian must also sign ticket for any minor.

If you believe you have won, and the terminal rejects or a retailer disputes the validity of your prize claim, submit your claim directly to Iowa Lottery Authority. All risks of redeeming the ticket remain with the player."
