The NJ Lottery would like to thank all of our players for their patience. We are currently making several improvements to our claims and payments process that will ultimately result in faster claim processing. However due to the implementation of these improvements, our current claim processing is taking 4 to 6 weeks from the time we receive your claim to when the payment is received by the winner. We truly appreciate your patience and support during our upgrades. Thank you for playing the New Jersey Lottery Family of Games.
