Want some tips on playing the South Dakota Lottery?

Our experts pulled together some tips to help playing the South Dakota Lottery.

Want to share some tips of your own? Let us know.

TIP #1: SCRATCH OFF ODDS

Scratch Off game odds are almost always better than draw games. However, unlike draw games, the odds to win bigger prizes can change daily based on ticket sales and prize claims.

TIP #2: CONSIDER LOTTERY POOLS

A lottery pool is a group of people who combine their funds to buy tickets and share any winnings among the group. On the plus side, you will have more chances at winning. The downside, you will have to split any winnings with the group.

TIP #3: KNOW CLAIM DEADLINES

Know the claim deadline to avoid letting your prize claim expire. Every year millions of dollars in lottery winners are forfeited when they are not claimed in the required time period.

TIP #4: PLAN AHEAD

Lottery winners in the State of South Dakota are considered public record so you cannot remain anonymous. Plan ahead since people will find out your identity and how much you won.
