Lost and Stolen Tickets
Lottery tickets are regarded as bearer instruments in the same way as dollar bills are - if you are holding the ticket, you are assumed to be the owner. The only way to claim a prize is to be in possession of a valid winning ticket. It is therefore essential that you keep any entries you have safe and guard against them being lost or stolen. It is a good idea to sign your ticket to prove your ownership and stop anyone else from trying to claim your prize.
Taxes
There is no state tax on lottery prizes in Washington. If you win $600 or more (which is not possible on a single Cash Pop play), you will be required to be provide your social security or tax identification number so that the Washington Lottery can report it to the IRS. Prizes over $5,000 are subject to 24% federal withholding.
