This bill mandates the State Lottery Commission to create a program that allows residents to submit and validate lottery claims for winnings of $600 or more through electronic means, including the Internet and mobile applications. Currently, claims for prizes of this amount must be submitted via mail or in person at the State Lottery headquarters. The new program will enable players to use approved mobile operating systems, such as iOS and Android, to validate their tickets and submit claims electronically.

Additionally, the bill requires the commission to establish procedures for processing winnings, which may involve crediting amounts to players' online accounts or facilitating direct deposits into their bank accounts. The commission is also tasked with ensuring that the program includes adequate security measures to prevent fraud and protect players' personal and financial information. This initiative aims to modernize the lottery claim process and provide a more convenient option for players.
