Oregon Administrative Rules › Chapter 177 - OREGON STATE LOTTERY › Division 52 - OREGON STATE LOTTERY SECOND CHANCE DRAWINGS › Section 177-052-0060 - Winner Notification and Claiming of Prizes

Current through Register Vol. 63, No. 7, July 1, 2024
(1) Second Chance Prize Notification: If the
			 entry is valid, the Lottery will notify the person who submitted the winning
			 entry ("the winner") in a second chance drawing by email. The Lottery may, but
			 is not required to, also provide notification by telephone or certified mail.
			 The effective date of notification is the date the initial email notification
			 is sent by the Lottery as noted electronically within the Lottery's information
			 processing system.
(2) Time Limits
			 for Claiming Prize: Unless otherwise specified for a specific second chance
			 drawing, a winner (including any eligible alternate winner) of a second chance
			 drawing has 60 calendar days from the date of the effective date of
			 notification in which to claim the prize using the methods provided in OAR
			 177-046-0110.
(3) Forfeiture of
			 Prize: If the Lottery determines that a winner and any alternate winners of a
			 second chance drawing are ineligible or fail to claim the prize within the
			 timeframe provided in section (2) of this rule, or if the entry and any
			 alternate winning entries selected for that drawing are invalid, then the prize
			 is an unclaimed prize and remains the property of the Lottery Commission to be
			 allocated to the benefit of the public purpose.
(4) Winner Claim Forms: To claim a prize in a
			 second chance drawing, the winner must submit a winner claim form to the
			 Lottery as provided in OAR 177-046-0110. To be valid, the winner claim form
			 must contain the required information, such as name, address, signature or
			 identifying mark, social security number (if applicable), and a valid reference
			 number. Only the person who submitted the entry may claim the prize (the
			 winner). A second chance drawing prize may not be claimed by multiple owners.
			 The Lottery will not accept an invalid winner claim form and will return the
			 claim form to the claimant. The winner may resubmit a valid claim form as long
			 as the time for claiming the prize has not expired.
(5) Verification of Identity: The Lottery may
			 require the winner to present valid proof of identity to confirm that the
			 winner is the registered member who submitted the second chance drawing entry.
			 If the Lottery is unable to confirm the person claiming the prize is the
			 registered member, the person is ineligible to receive a prize.
(6) Delivery of Prize: The winner of a second
			 chance drawing prize may receive the winner's prize in person at the Lottery
			 Headquarters or at a Lottery Branch, by mail, or private express carrier. The
			 Lottery will deliver a prize by private express carrier only to an address that
			 is within the United States.
(7)
			 Taxes and Fees: Unless otherwise stated by the Lottery in the terms and
			 conditions for a particular second chance drawing, all taxes and fees are the
			 responsibility of the winner claiming the prize.
(8) Deceased Winner: If the winner of a
			 second chance drawing prize is deceased, the Lottery may make payment of the
			 prize to the estate of the deceased prize winner as provided in OAR
			 177-046-0120.
