SD Lottery Launches Mobile Cashing

The South Dakota Lottery is now giving players the ability to claim qualifying prizes through its mobile app.

South Dakota Lottery players may now claim instant and lotto prizes from $101 to $5,000 through mobile cashing. After a mobile claim has been processed, players will receive their prize via ACH transaction.

“We are excited to offer this opportunity to our players,” said Executive Director Norm Lingle. “Providing players with this new technology will greatly improve their experience. We want our players to be able to celebrate their wins without worrying about the logistics of claiming a prize at one our three offices.”

Prior to the implementation of mobile cashing, players were required to claim all prizes more than $100 or more by visiting a South Dakota Lottery validation center or by mail. The South Dakota Lottery’s validation centers are located in Pierre, Rapid City and Sioux Falls.

Players may initiate a mobile claim with a few simple steps. First, players should open the South Dakota Lottery official mobile app, which is available for download in the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. Players can scan a scratch or lotto ticket with a qualifying prize then complete a digital claim form to complete the claim.

In order to utilize mobile cashing functionality, players should ensure that they have the latest version of the South Dakota Lottery’s mobile app and have enabled camera permissions to the app.

Mobile claims should be completed within four business days. A player’s first mobile prize claim may take up to eight business days due to the bank account verification process.

Players will have the ability to check the status of existing and previous claims through the My Claims page on the mobile app. The Lottery advises players with a pending mobile claim to sign the back of their winning ticket and keep it until the claim has been completed.

Throughout the mobile claims process, the Lottery will perform its regular debt setoff procedures as required by state law. Applicable tax documents and other information will be emailed to the player when necessary.
