TRENTON — New Jersey Lottery players can now submit prize claims and receive payments directly from their smartphones, the agency announced.
“This is just another step in our ongoing efforts to connect with players in their daily routines,” Executive Director James Carey said in a statement. “An overwhelming majority of our players are on their phones. It is imperative that we provide them with a seamless digital experience. This will be similar to how we deposit checks into our banking accounts using our mobile devices.”
Players who scan tickets in the New Jersey Lottery app will see a “mobile claim” option for prizes between $600 and $10,000 and will be guided through a secure submission and payment process.
The Lottery said traditional claim options remain available. Players may complete a claim form at any retailer; download, print and mail a claim form with the signed winning ticket to: New Jersey Lottery Claim Center, P.O. Box 041, Trenton, NJ 08625-0041, Attn: Winner Support Services (and keep copies of all materials); or drop off claims at the New Jersey Lottery Claim Center, Lawrence Park Complex, 1333 Brunswick Avenue Circle, Lawrence, NJ 08648, Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Appointments are required for jackpot prizes and large secondary draw-game prizes of at least $20,000. To schedule, call 1-800-222-0996 between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m.
