Lotto Age Limit help!!

Posted: 5/10/10 at 5:14pm

Hello all:

I looked all over and couldn't find and answer, so I am hoping someone can please help answer my question?

I am planning to do the WICKED Lotto and maybe others with my 2 sons. One is 12 and the other 15. If they happen to win, is there an age problem? They do have passports for their ID.
Will there be any problems??

Thanks so much in advance!!

I think your 15 year old should be fine.

You can ask the guy running the lotto, I don't think there is a good reason (unless there is a distinct age limit in writing) to deny either of them if they have a passport. I used to run a lotto, and I had kids younger than that win.

Yeah, I've seen kids much younger than 12 enter and win lotteries.

My 10 year old sister won tickets for 9 to 5.

Yeah, there's no age limit, the kid just has to have an ID. When my sister was much younger (no passport, too young for a drivers license, and her school didn't issue IDs) she would sometimes get away with her library card, and sometimes the person running the lottery would accept a parent's or older sibling's ID as long as the last name is the same.

Theres no age limit just make sure you have some identification for THEM
ive seen very young kids win and it would piss me off when they didnt have ID and the parents just showed them their own id

But remember: the lotto only gets you TWO tickets...what will you do for three of you?

I agree. No age issue. I've seen a baby, who did in fact have a passport, win the Wicked lottery.

But yes, as dramamama611 said, each name drawn is only entitled to two tickets, so you'd need two names to be pulled, and the odds of that happening, especially at Wicked, are pretty slim.
