Yes, you read that accurately.

If I buy several lottery tickets and then leave my account dormant for a long time, say at least 6 months, and my ticket wins the jackpot during that time.
Will anything happen to my prize money? Will the casino refund my money because I never claimed any of the rewards?

It's just a thought I've had for a while and decided to ask here in the community.


Ypu aren't going to get one solid answer and for your local lottery I imagine it says it on the ticket or you can Google it.  But for the US I think lottery winnings are good for a year after the date it went off.  I could be wrong but I think that's it.  Same for scratch offs something like a year from when they released those tickets.  Again all searchable online.  If this is a concern I'd go look it up and not depend on an answer from this forum.
