Lottery Ticket Scans: What They Show and What They Don't
A ticket scan is useful evidence that a courier says a physical ticket was purchased and associated with your account, but it is not a substitute for reading custody and claim terms.
Why scans exist
Courier services use scans to show the selected numbers, draw and identifying information from a purchased ticket.
Who holds the original?
The key contractual question is where the original paper ticket is stored and what happens if a prize requires physical presentation.
Major prizes
Large-prize procedures may differ from small-prize crediting. Check whether the original ticket is delivered, claimed with assistance or handled another way.
TheLotter's process
TheLotter says customers can view scanned tickets in their account before the draw. Its terms govern the service relationship and should be read for current details.
