You play Powerball the same way in South Dakota as you do in other states, by selecting five main numbers from 1 to 69 and a Powerball between 1 and 26, then deciding whether to add Power Play to your ticket. However, there are certain conditions to playing in South Dakota that may differ to other jurisdictions.

• The minimum age to play is 18.
• You can play up to nine consecutive draws in advance.
• You must buy your tickets before the deadline of 9:00pm CT (10:00pm ET) on draw days.
• There is no state tax on Powerball winnings.

You can claim prizes of $100 or less by visiting a licensed retailer, but any award of $101 or more must be collected from one of the lottery’s regional offices. Alternatively, you can claim your prize by mail by completing a claim form and sending it off to the main office in Pierre, along with your winning ticket. The money should be paid out in seven to 10 days. If you win the jackpot, you must present your ticket to the lottery office in Pierre.

The location of the main office is as follows. Opening hours are 08:00-17:00 CT (09:00-18:00 ET) from Mondays to Fridays.

711 E.Wells Ave
Pierre, SD 57501
Phone: (605) 773-5786

There are also two other regional offices where you can claim non-jackpot prizes in excess of $100. The addresses are shown below.

You must claim your prize within 180 days of the draw taking place if you have purchased a winning Powerball ticket in South Dakota.

You cannot claim a prize without a winning ticket and should sign the back of any entry to prove that it belongs to you. Any ticket you do present will need to meet all the necessary requirements for validation, so you may not be paid out if it is damaged.

If you win a big prize in the Mount Rushmore State, it is a matter of public record and you cannot remain anonymous. This is to maintain the transparency of the game so that fellow South Dakotans can see who has won.

As well as paying out prizes, covering the operational costs of running the lottery and giving retailers a five percent commission on every Powerball ticket sold, the South Dakota Lottery supports good causes throughout the state.

Three-quarters of the state lottery’s net income goes to the Capital Construction Fund, while the remainder is given to the General Fund. The Capital Construction Fund sets aside money for various specific programs, such as the Water & Environment Fund, the Ethanol Fuel Fund and the State Highway Fund. The General Fund, meanwhile, allocates nearly half of its money to education, while also helping to develop natural resources and promote responsible gaming.

Neal Wanless of Mission became South Dakota’s biggest lottery winner when he pocketed $232 million on May 27^th 2009. A 23-year-old rancher, Wanless had purchased his ticket at the Ampride store in Winner and used family birthdays to choose his numbers. He opted for the lump sum of $118 million but told reporters at his media ceremony that he just wanted to ‘go home and ranch and ride horses and check cows’.

Bill and Tina Nguyen from Pierre only had to make a short trip to the main lottery office in the same city after winning $116 million on May 17^th 2006. Bill had bought the lucky ticket when he stopped for gas ahead of a fishing trip to Hayes Lake, and the win allowed them to sell off their nail salon to an employee.

The South Dakota Lottery is run by the government of South Dakota. It is a member of the Multi-State Lottery Association (MUSL). The Lottery is headquartered in Pierre; it is a self-funded endeavor. The minimum age to buy tickets is 18; however, video lottery players must be at least 21.

In 2009, the Connecticut Lottery began a game then called Lucky-4-Life. It eventually became a regional game, taking on its current name. In 2013, Lucky for Life added a second 'lifetime' prize tier and began allowing such prizes to be paid in cash. In 2015, LFL further expanded into a quasi-national game. With South Dakota joining on June 4, 2017, LFL now is offered in 23 states and the District of Columbia.

Lucky for Life players choose five white balls numbered 01 through 48 and one green 'Lucky Ball' numbered 01 through 18. LFL continues to be drawn in Connecticut with numbered balls and two classic-style drawing machines.

Hot Lotto[edit]

Hot Lotto is offered in 14 states. It is drawn Wednesdays and Saturdays. The game draws five 'white balls' numbered 1-47, and one orange 'Hot Ball', numbered 1-19. Jackpots begin at $1,000,000 (all-cash, and 'taxes-paid'). Hot Lotto also has an option called Sizzler; it triples non-jackpot prizes.

Originally, Hot Lotto drew from 39 'white balls'; jackpots were paid in 25 yearly installments unless the cash option was chosen. Unlike Lucky for Life, Hot Lotto numbers are drawn via a random number generator (RNG).

Powerball[edit]

Since 1990, South Dakota has been a member of MUSL. Powerball began in 1992. Its jackpots begin at $40 million; it also is drawn Wednesdays and Saturdays.

Mega Millions[edit]

On October 13, 2009, the Mega Millions consortium and MUSL reached an agreement in principle to cross-sell Mega Millions and Powerball in US lottery jurisdictions. Most lotteries with either game prior to January 31, 2010 added the other on that date. South Dakota joined Mega Millions on May 16, 2010.[1][2]
