How long does it take to get your money if you won the lottery?
If you have won the amount up to $50K, then you can receive it online in your wallet from where you purchased a ticket. Up to some amount, every lottery retailer can give you the winning amount in cash if it is available. If you win a bigger prize, then you have to contact the lottery head office and confirm your winning ticket. They will confirm the winning ticket, and let you know when you can claim it. Most of the time, it will take around a week to get the amount in your hand in the form of a cheque.
