The Missouri Lottery will never call, email or send a text message to say you've won a Draw Games prize.
The Missouri Lottery does not know who Draw Games winners are until the ticket is redeemed.
Winners of Missouri Lottery prizes will NEVER be required to send money or give personal information in order to claim their winnings with the exception of the following:
-
Supplying a Social Security number and banking information (if winner requests direct deposit) on a Lottery-provided claim form for prizes over $600 - this information is NEVER collected over the phone or by email.
-
Verifying winner's phone number and/or mailing address for social media of MOLottery.com promotional contests.
The Missouri Lottery will NEVER sell, trade or otherwise distribute this information to third parties.
Do you follow us on social media?
Look for the blue checkmark in our profile. If there is no checkmark, the page is NOT the Missouri Lottery's verified account and you could be interacting with someone pretending to be us.
How to be Safe on Social Media
-
Don't click on links in unsolicited text messages. Clicking the link may infect your device.
-
Don't call a phone number listed in an unsolicited text message.
-
Don't respond to "smishing" messages, even to ask the sender to stop contacting you.
-
NEVER provide your personal information in response to a text message from an unknown sender.
Did you win a My Lottery® Players Club prize?
People lose billions of dollars each year due to illegal foreign lottery schemes and other lottery-themed fraud. Reporting these scam attempts to the Federal Trade Commission is the best line of defense.
Additionally, Missourians who receive unwanted telemarketing calls, unsolicited mail, spam email or social media messages can contact the Missouri Attorney General's Consumer Protective Division at 1-800-292-8222 or visit www.ago.mo.gov.
