Winners of prizes of more than $600 must fill out a winner claim form and have a valid government-issued photo ID with a social security card.
In Georgia, winners who purchase their tickets online have 180 days to claim their prize. However, winners who buy instant tickets only have 90 days from the expiration date to claim their prize.
