How do I withdraw from my player wallet?
Select Withdraw on the My Account screen and follow the steps. All withdrawal requests must be approved by The Lottery before being processed. Depending on how long your bank requires to process the transfer, online withdrawals may post to your bank account in as little as 30 minutes. Some banks may require up to 3-5 business days. Withdraw at Retail vouchers may take 1-2 business days to process but are generally approved much more quickly and are valid for one month after approval.
