Winning tickets with a value up to and including $600 may be redeemed at any Maryland Lottery retailer.

All winning tickets, including tickets with a value over $25,000 may be redeemed at the Maryland Lottery Customer Resource Center in Baltimore only.

When cashing a ticket above $600 you must present proof of your social security number and photo ID proof of being at least 18 years of age. Double check your photo ID and Social Security card to ensure your name is exactly the same on both documents as they need to match exactly to claim your winnings.
