How do I collect my Powerball winnings?

How do I collect my Powerball winnings?\r\nPowerball tickets can be purchased in all but six states in the US. Most prizes that contestants win can be picked up in cash at any local retailer that sells lottery tickets, but it must be done it the state where the winning ticket was sold. Claimants also have a time limit after the prize drawing to collect any money they have won.\r\n\r\nHowever, lucky contestants that win larger prizes have a few options for how they can claim their prize, but will be required to fill out some forms. For the largest prizes, they will also need to make a choice for how they want to receive the prize, either in a lump sum or spread out over several payments.
