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 delivered in person to the State Lottery headquarters. The new program will enable players to use approved mobile operating systems, such as iOS and Android, to validate their lottery tickets and submit claims electronically.

Additionally, the bill requires the commission to establish procedures for the payment of winnings, which may involve crediting amounts to a player's online account or direct depositing them into a financial institution account. The commission is also tasked with ensuring that the program includes adequate security measures to protect against fraud and safeguard players' personal and financial information. This initiative aims to streamline the process for claiming lottery prizes and provide a more convenient option for players.
