Directs State Lottery Commission to permit lottery player to submit and validate lottery claims of $600 or more via Internet, mobile application, or other electronic means.
This bill allows New Jersey lottery players who win $600 or more to submit and validate their winning claims online or via mobile app instead of mailing or delivering paper forms to lottery headquarters. The State Lottery Commission must create a secure electronic system that works with iOS and Android devices, offering payment options like crediting winnings to an online account or direct bank deposit. The system must include fraud prevention, underage access prevention, and protection for players' personal and financial information. This change applies specifically to claims of $600 or higher, which currently require in-person or mailed submissions.
