Protect Yourself from Lottery Scams

Stay Vigilant

Lottery scams are becoming increasingly sophisticated. Learn how to identify and avoid them.

Email Scams

Be wary of unsolicited emails claiming you've won a lottery you never entered.

Fake Lottery Sites

Only use official lottery websites or authorized retailers to purchase tickets.

Advance Fee Fraud

Legitimate lotteries never ask for money upfront to claim a prize.

Social Media Scams

Be cautious of lottery 'winners' on social media offering to share their winnings.

How to Stay Safe

Never pay to claim a prize - legitimate lotteries don't require this
Be skeptical of unsolicited contact about lottery winnings
Check official lottery websites for winning numbers and information
Keep your personal and financial information secure
If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is

Remember

Legitimate lotteries will never guarantee that you've won or ask you to pay a fee to collect winnings. Always verify with official sources and trust your instincts. If something feels off, it probably is.
