All persons holding winning tickets must file a claim for a prize within one year after the date of the drawing. One year means the anniversary of the date of the draw unless the draw date is February 29th in which case the anniversary is considered to be March 1st. All claims submitted beyond the one-year period are not eligible for prize awards. All winners, tickets, and transactions are subject to New Jersey State Lottery rules and regulations and State Law. All prize awards are subject to claim procedures, validation tests, and other applicable requirements of the New Jersey State Lottery.
Printing is irregular.
Apparent or asserted symbols are not confirmed by validation number. The ticket fails any of the Lottery's other validation tests. All determinations as to the winning or losing status of a ticket, the validity of a ticket, or the eligibility of a player, shall be made by the Director, whose decision shall constitute a final state agency decision.
