Step 1
Check, double check, and then triple check the ticket. Make sure your numbers match up with the winning numbers and that you have the correct drawing date. If you confirm that you have indeed won, tell nobody except your spouse or immediate family members, those who will be with you and supporting you during this turbulent time.
Step 2: Copy And Hide The Ticket
DO NOT SIGN THE TICKET. First, make a photo copy of the front and back of the ticket, then place the ticket somewhere safe such as a home safe or a safe deposit box. This little piece of paper is now worth a lot of money and should be treated accordingly.
