Section 202-22.0 - Prizes Payable After Death or Disability of Owner

All prizes or a portion thereof which remain unpaid at the time of the prize winner's death will be payable to the prize winner's estate. Payment by the Lottery Office to the estate of the deceased owner of any prize winnings will absolve the Lottery Office and any Agents of any further liability for payment of said prize winnings. Under no circumstances will the payment of prize money be accelerated beyond normal dates of payment by the Lottery Office. The Director reserves the right to petition any court of competent jurisdiction to request a determination for the payments of any prize winnings, including those winnings which are or may become payable to the estate of a deceased owner or an owner under a disability because of, but not limited to, minority of age, mental deficiency, or physical or mental incapacity. If the legatees, or heirs of a deceased owner entitled to prize winnings obtains an order from a court of competent jurisdiction directing payments due and to become due from the Lottery Office to be paid directly to said legatee(s) or heir(s) or otherwise directs the Lottery Office to make payments to another if an owner is disabled or otherwise, the Lottery Office shall pay the prize winnings accordingly.
