Each and every year, millions of dollars go unclaimed in lottery games, so keep in mind first and foremost to hold your ticket safe and claim any prize within six months or a year, based on the regulations!
If 3 or more numbers in the draw equal those on your ticket, you have won a prize.

If greater than one person matches the six numbers then the prize will be shared equally between the winners.
