The International Lottery attempts to ensure that the winning numbers for each (Lucky LinesSM, MegabucksSM, Win for LifeSM, Powerball®, RaffleSM, Mega Millions®, Pick 4SM and Keno) drawings are posted correctly. However, posted numbers are unofficial. The only official source for verifying winning numbers on a player’s ticket is through the International Lottery’s central computer system. To confirm that an International Lottery ticket is a winner, please contact an approved agent specified in this letter.
