The Delaware Lottery occasionally runs Second Chance promotions for instant scratch games, but not on a consistent basis.
We advise you to join the Delaware Lottery Players Club so the Lottery can keep you in the loop about the current promotions.
Advance Play options
Most Delaware lottery games allow you to buy tickets for multiple upcoming draws in advance.
This is a convenient way to secure your entries without visiting a retailer each day.

Popular scratch games in Delaware include Cash Party, a $20 ticket with a top prize of $100,000, and Stacks of Cash, a $10 game with a $40,000 jackpot.

Frequently asked questions
Players often have common questions about how the Delaware Lottery works, from checking tickets to claiming prizes.
Below you’ll find answers to the most frequently asked questions, based on official information and lottery rules.
This section is designed to give you quick and clear guidance on what you need to know.
Can I remain anonymous if I win the lottery in Delaware?
Yes, Delaware is one of the few states that allows lottery winners to remain anonymous. This means your name will not be made public, no matter the size of your prize. Many players see this as an added layer of privacy and protection.
Has there ever been a Powerball winner in Delaware?
Yes, Delaware has had several Powerball winners, including a $121.6 million jackpot claimed in 2016. Groups of coworkers and individual players have also won million-dollar prizes over the years. These wins show that Powerball prizes do happen in the state.
How to check Delaware lottery tickets?
You can check Delaware lottery results on the official website, through the Players Club mobile app, or at any authorized retailer. Many retailers have self-service machines that allow you to scan your ticket. Results are also available in local newspapers after each draw.
Where to buy lottery tickets in Delaware?
Tickets for draw games and scratch-offs are sold at more than 600 licensed retailers across the state. These include convenience stores, gas stations, and supermarkets. You cannot buy official Delaware lottery tickets online or by mail.
Does Delaware tax lottery winnings?
The Delaware Lottery does not withhold state taxes from prizes, but you still need to report winnings on your state income tax return. Federal taxes are withheld at 24% for prizes over $5,000, and 30% for non-residents. Smaller prizes under $600 are not reported automatically, but you must still claim them as income.
How long do I have to claim a Delaware Lottery prize?
Players have up to one year from the date of the draw or the announced end of a scratch-off game to claim prizes. After that deadline, the winning ticket becomes invalid. It’s always best to check results quickly so you do not miss the claim window.
What is the minimum age to play the Delaware Lottery?
You must be at least 18 years old to purchase Delaware Lottery tickets. However, for video lottery, sports betting, and table games at casinos, the minimum age is 21. Retailers are required to check ID before selling tickets to ensure compliance.
What happens if I lose my winning ticket?
The Delaware Lottery is not responsible for lost, stolen, or damaged tickets. This is why it is important to sign the back of your ticket as soon as you buy it, since that proves ownership. Without the original ticket, you cannot claim a prize.
Can I buy Delaware lottery tickets in advance?
Yes, you can use the Advance Play option to buy entries for multiple upcoming draws at once. Depending on the game, this can range from 7 draws for daily games up to 20 draws for Keno. This option ensures you never miss your favorite games.
Are Delaware lottery rules different if you play online?
Most Delaware Lottery games can only be played by buying tickets from retailers, so these fall under consistent rules. Video games at Delaware casinos will have their own rules attached, for example, an age minimum of 21 rather than 18.
How do I know lotteries listed on Lottery Critic are legitimate?
We source our information from official Lottery pages and follow the games closely to ensure everything is correct.
How long does it take to receive your prize if you win the Delaware Lottery?
Winners can pick up prizes under $600 from retailers straight after the draw. If you mail your ticket, processing usually takes around 15 days.
