The disposition of unclaimed prizes varies by state. Typically, the money is used for education programs, treatment programs, and to increase future prize pools. Your designated beneficiaries will receive the remaining payments. Your state's lottery is not responsible for lost or stolen tickets. You should sign the back of your ticket in ink and take appropriate measures to safeguard it.
Lottery tickets are bearer documents.
Unless signed, anyone in possession of the ticket can file a claim. No, lottery tickets cannot be sold over the internet.
