If you’re concerned that gambling is becoming
more than a game for you, try using these guidelines
to moderate your play.
• Think of the money you may lose as the cost of
your entertainment. Consider any money you win
as a bonus.
• Set a dollar and time limit, then stick to it.
• Leave when you reach your limit, whether you’re
winning or losing.
• Understand that financial loss is part of gambling.
Don’t borrow money to gamble.
• Don’t let gambling interfere with, or become a
substitute for, family, friends, or work.
• Don’t chase losses; chances are you’ll lose even more
trying to recoup your losses.
• Don’t use gambling as a way to cope with emotional
or physical pain.
• Know the warning signs of problem gambling.
KNOW THE SIGNS
Would you know a gambling problem if you saw it in
a friend, loved one, coworker, patient, or student?
It’s important to know the signs because 3% of the
population may have a problem, putting them and
their families at financial or emotional risk. Here are
some warning signs:
• Preoccupied with gambling and unable to stop
• Bragging about gambling, exaggerating wins, and
minimizing losses
• Restless and irritable when not gambling
• Borrowing money for gambling
• Lying about time spent gambling or unpaid debt
• Unexplained absences
• Losing work time because of gambling
• Doing something illegal to get money for gambling
• Jeopardizing a significant relationship or job
by gambling
HOW TO HELP
If someone you know is gambling for more than fun,
they may have a problem. Talking to them can seem
scary, but they need you for support.
Here are some ways to begin the conversation:
• Find a comfortable place to talk where you won’t
be disturbed.
• Keep it simple and straightforward.
• Tell the person you care about them and you’re
concerned about how they are acting.
• Tell the person exactly what they’ve done that
concerns you.
• Tell the person how their behavior is affecting other
people—be specific.
• Be clear about what you expect from them. (“I want
you to talk to someone about your gambling.”)
Be clear about what they can expect from you.
(“I won’t cover for you anymore.”)
• After you’ve told the person what you’ve seen
and how you feel, allow them to respond.
• Listen with a nonjudgmental attitude.
• Let the person know you are willing to help,
but don’t try to counsel them yourself.
• Give the person information, not advice.
• Encourage them to call the Problem
Gambling Helpline.
If you are the spouse or family member of a problem
gambler, it is important for you to take care of
yourself and realize that you are not responsible for the
gambler’s behavior.
Problem gambling is not a bad habit or a moral
weakness, it is a serious condition. With treatment,
problem gamblers can put the game in perspective and
make decisions to improve their lives.
If playing isn’t fun anymore,
call or chat for help:
Problem Gambling Helpline:
1-800-GAMBLE-5 or 1-800-426-2535
Chat: wi-problemgamblers.org
Free. Confidential. Always there.
THINGS TO KNOW
• You must be at least 18 years old to purchase
Lottery tickets.
• Credit cards are NOT accepted for Lottery purchases.
• Tickets are void if stolen, mutilated, altered,
unreadable, counterfeit, misregistered, defective, or
fail to pass the Lottery’s confidential validation test.
• Jackpots shall be paid to the recipient, or their estate
in the event of death, unless otherwise ordered by
a court of law.
• Prizes must be claimed within 180 days from the
date of the lotto game draw, or from the declared
game end for instant scratch tickets.
• All Lottery winnings are taxable. Prize winnings are
subject to both federal and state tax withholding.
• Tickets, transactions, winners, and winnings are
subject to state law and Lottery regulations.
Additional details available on Winner Claim Form.
AVOID A SCAM
• Beware of notices informing you of winning a contest
or giveaway you did not enter.
• Never pay upfront fees of any kind to claim a legitimate
state lottery prize.
• Reject telephone, mail, email, or internet offers
to buy a ticket for a chance into another state’s or
country’s lottery. It is against the law to purchase
foreign lottery tickets or lottery tickets sold outside
the state of origin. Scam artists use the names of
both legitimate and fraudulent lotteries to steal from
unsuspecting individuals.
• Always verify phone numbers and mailing addresses
by searching official sources.
• Never provide personal information such as bank
account numbers, credit card numbers, or Social
Security numbers over the phone or online.
• Beware of “urgent” messages that require an
immediate response. It’s a common tactic used in
scams that gives you little time to check out the offer.
• Legal lotteries do not guarantee that you will win
a prize and do not require people to join prize pools
to play.
• Never agree to cash a lottery ticket for a stranger.
PLAY IT SAFE — PLAYER SECURITY
1. Sign the back of your ticket immediately
after purchase. Signing the back of the ticket
is the single most important thing you can do to
protect yourself from theft, and to prove you own
the ticket. Lottery tickets are bearer instruments;
whoever signs the back of the ticket is considered
the rightful owner.
2. Review your ticket to make sure you
received what you intended to buy. Players
are responsible for checking the accuracy of tickets
before leaving the store. Know the game being
played. Game details are available at wilottery.com.
Game brochures are available at Wisconsin Lottery
retailers. If a ticket appears to have been tampered
with, contact the Wisconsin Lottery immediately.
3. Only purchase Lottery tickets from a licensed
Wisconsin Lottery retailer. If you are approached
by someone offering a “winning ticket” for cash,
refuse the offer and contact the Wisconsin Lottery
immediately.
4. Keep your Lottery ticket in a safe place.
The Lottery is not liable for damaged, lost, or
stolen tickets.
5. Determine on your own
whether your ticket has won
a prize before you present it
to be checked or cashed. You
can verify prize amounts by using
our ticket checkers, which can
be found at all Wisconsin Lottery
retailers.
6. Review the prize payout transaction details.
• Video screens showing Wisconsin Lottery
transaction results are available at all Wisconsin
Lottery retailers.
• You may ask to see the cash authorization
slip which shows the winning amount for
a transaction. Note: The retailer retains
the redeemed winning ticket(s) and cash
authorization slip(s) for their records.
7. If you are told your ticket is not a winner and
you think it is: Ask for the ticket back and contact
the Wisconsin Lottery.

BE CANCELLED.
6. Give completed playslip and cash to the retailer.
7. Receive, sign, and safeguard ticket. A ticket is
needed to claim a prize. Playslips are not valid to
claim a prize.
8. For each play, all six selected numbers are printed
on one line of the ticket with the Mega Ball number
printed to the right, under the word “MEGA.”
HOW TO MULTIPLY WINNINGS
WITH MEGAPLIER:
• For an additional $1 per play per draw (total cost will
be $3), Megaplier will increase NON-jackpot winnings.
• To select Megaplier, mark the Megaplier circle on
the playslip, or ask the clerk to add Megaplier when
purchasing a ticket.
• For every Mega Millions drawing, a Megaplier of
either 2X, 3X, 4X, or 5X will be drawn.
• If your ticket wins a prize from $2 to $1,000,000
and the Megaplier is added, the prize amount will be
multiplied by that drawing’s Megaplier.
– Examples: If you added Megaplier and
your prize is $10 and the Megaplier drawn
was 3X, you win $30 ($10 X 3). If you added
Megaplier and your prize is $1,000,000 and
the Megaplier drawn was 5X, you win
$5,000,000 ($1,000,000 X 5).
• Megaplier does not apply to the JACKPOT.

If you’re concerned that gambling is becoming
more than a game for you, try using these guidelines
to moderate your play.
• Think of the money you may lose as the cost of
your entertainment. Consider any money you win
as a bonus.
• Set a dollar and time limit, then stick to it.
• Leave when you reach your limit, whether you’re
winning or losing.
• Understand that financial loss is part of gambling.
Don’t borrow money to gamble.
• Don’t let gambling interfere with, or become a
substitute for, family, friends, or work.
• Don’t chase losses; chances are you’ll lose even more
trying to recoup your losses.
• Don’t use gambling as a way to cope with emotional
or physical pain.
• Know the warning signs of problem gambling.
KNOW THE SIGNS
Would you know a gambling problem if you saw it in
a friend, loved one, coworker, patient, or student?
It’s important to know the signs because 3% of the
population may have a problem, putting them and
their families at financial or emotional risk. Here are
some warning signs:
• Preoccupied with gambling and unable to stop
• Bragging about gambling, exaggerating wins, and
minimizing losses
• Restless and irritable when not gambling
• Borrowing money for gambling
• Lying about time spent gambling or unpaid debt
• Unexplained absences
• Losing work time because of gambling
• Doing something illegal to get money for gambling
• Jeopardizing a significant relationship or job
by gambling
HOW TO HELP
If someone you know is gambling for more than fun,
they may have a problem. Talking to them can seem
scary, but they need you for support.
Here are some ways to begin the conversation:
• Find a comfortable place to talk where you won’t
be disturbed.
• Keep it simple and straightforward.
• Tell the person you care about them and you’re
concerned about how they are acting.
• Tell the person exactly what they’ve done that
concerns you.
• Tell the person how their behavior is affecting other
people—be specific.
• Be clear about what you expect from them. (“I want
you to talk to someone about your gambling.”)
Be clear about what they can expect from you.
(“I won’t cover for you anymore.”)
• After you’ve told the person what you’ve seen
and how you feel, allow them to respond.
• Listen with a nonjudgmental attitude.
• Let the person know you are willing to help,
but don’t try to counsel them yourself.
• Give the person information, not advice.
• Encourage them to call the Problem
Gambling Helpline.
If you are the spouse or family member of a problem
gambler, it is important for you to take care of
yourself and realize that you are not responsible for the
gambler’s behavior.
Problem gambling is not a bad habit or a moral
weakness, it is a serious condition. With treatment,
problem gamblers can put the game in perspective and
make decisions to improve their lives.
If playing isn’t fun anymore,
call or chat for help:
Problem Gambling Helpline:
1-800-GAMBLE-5 or 1-800-426-2535

Free. Confidential. Always there.
THINGS TO KNOW
• You must be at least 18 years old to purchase
Lottery tickets.
• Credit cards are NOT accepted for Lottery purchases.
• Tickets are void if stolen, mutilated, altered,
unreadable, counterfeit, misregistered, defective, or
fail to pass the Lottery’s confidential validation test.
• Jackpots shall be paid to the recipient, or their estate
in the event of death, unless otherwise ordered by
a court of law.
• Prizes must be claimed within 180 days from the
date of the lotto game draw, or from the declared
game end for instant scratch tickets.
• All Lottery winnings are taxable. Prize winnings are
subject to both federal and state tax withholding.
• Tickets, transactions, winners, and winnings are
subject to state law and Lottery regulations.
Additional details available on Winner Claim Form.
AVOID A SCAM
• Beware of notices informing you of winning a contest
or giveaway you did not enter.
• Never pay upfront fees of any kind to claim a legitimate
state lottery prize.
• Reject telephone, mail, email, or internet offers
to buy a ticket for a chance into another state’s or
country’s lottery. It is against the law to purchase
foreign lottery tickets or lottery tickets sold outside
the state of origin. Scam artists use the names of
both legitimate and fraudulent lotteries to steal from
unsuspecting individuals.
• Always verify phone numbers and mailing addresses
by searching official sources.
• Never provide personal information such as bank
account numbers, credit card numbers, or Social
Security numbers over the phone or online.
• Beware of “urgent” messages that require an
immediate response. It’s a common tactic used in
scams that gives you little time to check out the offer.
• Legal lotteries do not guarantee that you will win
a prize and do not require people to join prize pools
to play.
• Never agree to cash a lottery ticket for a stranger.
PLAY IT SAFE — PLAYER SECURITY
1. Sign the back of your ticket immediately
after purchase. Signing the back of the ticket
is the single most important thing you can do to
protect yourself from theft, and to prove you own
the ticket. Lottery tickets are bearer instruments;
whoever signs the back of the ticket is considered
the rightful owner.
2. Review your ticket to make sure you
received what you intended to buy. Players
are responsible for checking the accuracy of tickets
before leaving the store. Know the game being
played. Game details are available at wilottery.com.
Game brochures are available at Wisconsin Lottery
retailers. If a ticket appears to have been tampered
with, contact the Wisconsin Lottery immediately.
3. Only purchase Lottery tickets from a licensed
Wisconsin Lottery retailer. If you are approached
by someone offering a “winning ticket” for cash,
refuse the offer and contact the Wisconsin Lottery
immediately.
4. Keep your Lottery ticket in a safe place.
The Lottery is not liable for damaged, lost, or
stolen tickets.
5. Determine on your own
whether your ticket has won
a prize before you present it
to be checked or cashed. You
can verify prize amounts by using
our ticket checkers, which can
be found at all Wisconsin Lottery
retailers.
6. Review the prize payout transaction details.
• Video screens showing Wisconsin Lottery
transaction results are available at all Wisconsin
Lottery retailers.
• You may ask to see the cash authorization
slip which shows the winning amount for
a transaction. Note: The retailer retains
the redeemed winning ticket(s) and cash
authorization slip(s) for their records.
7. If you are told your ticket is not a winner and
you think it is: Ask for the ticket back and contact
the Wisconsin Lottery.
