The California Lottery operates nine District Offices nationwide to assist with prize claims and related services. They handle same-day payments for smaller prizes and help with larger prize claims, though some processing may occur at Lottery Headquarters. This is the current structure and purpose of the district offices. [District Offices information, CA Lottery official site]

You can visit or contact any District Office during business hours (roughly 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. for general inquiries; some offices may offer 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. for certain payments).
