1.       What are the winning numbers for the next draw?
Sorry we just don’t know until the draw is over. Everybody wants to know what the winning numbers are before the next draw. Alas nobody knows and nobody can influence the outcome except for Lady Luck. It’s all about the luck of the draw and you have to be in it to win it!
 
2.      What happens if I lose my ticket but I know it was a winner?
Keep your ticket safe because if you lose your ticket you lose your proof of purchase and entry into the draw. You therefore lose your legal claim to any prize money. It’s legally important that you keep your ticket and SIGN the back of it so that if you lose it and someone else finds it they can not claim your prize. The Lottery can only pay out if a winning ticket is presented and is legally obliged to pay the prize to the person who presents the winning ticket – so long as the ticket is valid and they are eligible to claim a prize. We urge you to keep tickets in a safe place as you would with anything else that is of value.
 
3.      Can I remain anonymous if I win?
We do on rare exceptions allow winners to remain completely anonymous but most often we will encourage winners to accept some publicity – most of the time they have already told people so it’s hard to keep any secrets from the media. It is part of the contract with the lottery to allow publicity if you win. Other players like to see and hear of people winning – it gives them hope and confidence in the integrity of the lottery. We encourage you to share your good news but will abide by data protection acts and all local laws governing your privacy. We do not publish or reveal home details or telephone numbers to anyone other than those restricted few who administer your prize claim.
 
4.       Can I buy Barbados Lottery tickets on the web?
No, not yet and not for some time due to US and other international laws that govern purchases of lottery tickets in the Caribbean.
 
5.      How long does it take before I get my money if I win a big prize?
Jackpot prizes are usually paid within a week to the winner pending successful validation procedures that check that the ticket is genuine and that the winner is old enough to claim the prize.
  
6.     Can I play and win Barbados Lottery games if I am a tourist or just visiting?
Yes you can so long as you are over 18 years old. Ideally you should claim your prize in the Caribbean. If, however, you discover you have won when you are back in your home country then let us know and we will discuss the best way for submitting your claim from a distance.

 
7.      Where can I see the draws taking place?
Barbados Lottery draws are now automated, in recognition of the growing industry trend toward the use of fully secure random number generators.  The results of the drawings are available in the local media for the benefit and information of Barbados Lottery players.
 
8.   Where can I get results quickly?
Barbados Lottery players can see winning number results on the Barbados Lottery website, or request winning number results from selling terminals at any lottery retailer location.
 


9.   How long do I have to claim a prize if I win before it becomes void?
Barbados Lottery prizes must be claimed within 90 days following the drawing in which a prize has been won.  Instant Scratch Ticket prizes must be claimed within 90 days following the official end of the game in which a prize has been won. 
 
10.   What happens to unclaimed prizes?

Most Barbados Lottery prizes are claimed by players, however, the money represented by unclaimed Barbados Lottery prizes is contributed to the sporting organisations that are the Lottery's beneficiaries.
