You have to be at least 18 years old to play Powerball in Vermont. The cut-off time for ticket sales is 9:50pm ET on draw days. You can enter the same numbers in up to 30 consecutive drawings, just by marking the appropriate number in the Multi-draw section. However, the maximum value of a single ticket cannot exceed $100.
In Vermont, you can also subscribe to make sure you never miss a draw. All you need to do is pick up a form from a licensed lottery agent, fill in your number selections and mail it in to the Vermont Lottery. Include your check or money order and you will automatically be entered into every draw, with winnings sent directly to you if you win.
You can claim prizes of up to $499 from any authorized lottery retailer in the state. If you win between $500 and $5,000, you can visit Vermont Lottery Headquarters in Berlin or go to any M&T Bank. You must complete a claim form and provide a valid form of identification, such as your driver’s license, passport or other government-issued ID. You can also claim prizes up to $5,000 by mail by submitting your winning ticket, social security number and claim form.
If you win a prize of more than $5,000, you must claim it in person at the Vermont Lottery Headquarters. The address of the headquarters is shown below:
Vermont Lottery Headquarters
1311 US Route 302
Berlin, VT 05641
If you are submitting a winning ticket by mail, it should be sent to the following address:
1311 US Route 302
Suite 100
Barre, VT 05641
If you win a prize of more than $5,000, you will have to pay state tax at a rate of six percent, in addition to the federal withholding of 24 percent. If you do not provide a correct taxpayer identification number (TIN), you will also have to pay state tax at 6.72 percent and federal tax at 28 percent on any prize worth at least $600.
You have one year from the date of the draw to claim your prize. If you win the jackpot, you have 60 days from the date of ticket validation to decide whether to take the annuity or the cash. You will automatically receive the annuity if you do not choose in this time.
A Powerball ticket is a bearer instrument so you need to be in possession of a winning entry to be able to claim a prize. You should sign the back of your ticket to prevent anyone else from being able to claim it. You are also unlikely to be able to claim a prize with a damaged ticket, unless it still meets a number of specific requirements for validation. If a ticket is deemed void, you will not be eligible for a prize but may receive a refund at the discretion of the lottery official validating your ticket.
The Vermont Lottery will release the name, town and prize amount of all its big winners. However, you are allowed to claim your prize through a legal trust, and therefore the name of the trust will be made public rather than your own name.
When you buy a Powerball ticket in Vermont, approximately 65 percent is paid back to players in prize money. A little over six percent is paid to retailers in commissions, while operating expenses account for over seven percent. More than 20 percent is left over in profits, and all of this revenue is transferred to the Vermont Education Fund. The table below shows how lottery revenue is split:
| Area of Spending | Percentage of Revenue |
|---|---|
| Prizes | 65.1% |
| Vermont Education Fund | 20.9% |
| Commissions | 6.2% |
| Costs and Expenses | 7.8% |
The lottery has contributed over $600 million to the state’s General and Education Fund since its inception in 1978. It has awarded a number of ‘Educate and Innovate’ grants, providing schools with devices such as iPads and Chromebooks to help boost digital learning facilities in the K-12 education system.
When the Vermont Lottery was created in 1978, it originally just offered instant tickets, before Pick 3 became the first draw game in 1980. Vermont later joined forces with New Hampshire and Maine to form the Tri-State Lottery, a multi-jurisdictional association which pre-dates the MUSL and still runs the popular Megabucks game.
Powerball tickets first went on sale in Vermont on July 1, 2003, but it wasn’t until June 29th 2022 that the state got its first jackpot winner. The jackpot was worth $366 million and was claimed by a group known as the API Trust DTD, effectively keeping the winner(s) anonymous. The lucky ticket had been bought at a store in Middlebury.
