Welfare lottery 3D winners can take their winning lottery tickets to any betting station in the province to claim their prizes within the redemption period. Winners with larger prize amounts can take their winning lottery tickets and valid identification documents to the welfare lottery issuing centers in the province to claim their prizes within the redemption period.

The winner of the first prize of the Double Color Ball lottery must bring the winning lottery ticket and his/her valid identity certificate to the provincial center within the prize redemption period to verify, register and redeem the prize.

The general process of lottery prize redemption

First, when the lottery is drawn, check the winning numbers carefully. Once you win, be excited, but don’t take photos and post them on social media, so as not to leak your information and be used by people with ulterior motives, which will end up being a waste of joy. In addition, the lottery ticket must be well protected. If it is lost or damaged, it may not be redeemable.

Second, the lottery redemption time is limited. Generally speaking, it is required to be claimed within 60 working days. If the prize redemption period is exceeded, it will be deemed as giving up the prize. In short, no matter how much the winning amount is, it must be redeemed within the specified time. If it is overdue, it will be invalid.

Third, domestic lottery prize redemption requires "fixed-point redemption". That is, you can only go to the sales point where you bought the lottery ticket after winning the prize. When redeeming the prize, the staff will check the winner and the lottery ticket purchase information one by one, and start the relevant prize redemption procedures after confirming that everything is correct.

Fourth, the winner needs to bring his ID card, bank card and other documents and go through the prize collection procedures under the guidance of lottery staff. Here, everyone needs to pay special attention to the fact that lottery amounts exceeding 10,000 yuan need to pay taxes, and the tax amount is 20% of the full prize.
