Congrats on the win! Not sure how it works in some states but here in NY they give you a check after verification.

What satate are you in?

In Mi you go to the lottery head quarters- show them Id and social security card and they cut you a check. And they give you something to turn in with your taxes.

This is in California based on OP's profile

I believe you give them your claim form and the ticket, and after a few weeks you get a check in the mail

Also another thing you probably don't want to hear :) but the check you receive will be for $750 and not $1,000 because they withhold 25% tax

If I had a $1,000 winner I can guarantee you I'd be on the phone with the lottery people getting the correct information as far as how to cash it, where to go, etc, instead of posting a question about it on a message board!

Go cash in that ticket already!

Well I haven't won any 2nd chance or big prize (yet) but I looked in the claim form and it says they withhold 25% tax

I doubt it. Have seen this type of thread many, many times and they rarely come back with the 'facts, ma'am'...
