The South Dakota Lottery is launching a new way for players to claim prizes through a mobile app.
The app allows players to claim instant and lotto prizes between $100 and $5,000.
Once a claim is processed, players receive winnings via electronic transfer within four business days. The lottery says first-time claims on the app may take up to 8 days.
Lottery officials advise players with a pending mobile claim to sign the back of their winning ticket and keep it until the claim has been completed.
SD Lottery says the new process is easier because before the app, all prizes over $100 had to be claimed in a validation center in either Pierre, Sioux Falls or Rapid City.
You can find the mobile app by looking up “South Dakota Lottery.”
