National Lotteries Control Board (NLCB) Rules & Regulations

Understanding the official rules and regulations set forth by the National Lotteries Control Board (NLCB) of Trinidad and Tobago is crucial for all players. These rules ensure fair play, define player responsibilities, and outline the procedures for all NLCB-sanctioned lottery games.

Key NLCB Regulations:

• Player Eligibility: Players must be 18 years of age or older to participate in any NLCB game and to claim prizes.
• Ticket Validity: The physical ticket is the ONLY valid proof of your number selection and the ONLY valid receipt accepted to claim a prize. It is the player's responsibility to ensure the ticket is legible and accurately reflects their chosen numbers, game, and draw date(s).
• Lost or Stolen Tickets: The NLCB is not responsible for lost or stolen tickets. Players are advised to keep their tickets in a safe place.
• Ticket Condition: Tickets are void and will not be paid if they are unissued, illegible, previously paid, mutilated, misprinted, not properly registered with the NLCB's Lottery Central Computer, or altered in any way.
• Governing Authority: All tickets, transactions, and winners are subject to all NLCB rules, regulations, and procedures as established and amended by the Board.
• Prize Claims: Specific time limits apply for claiming prizes (typically 180 days from the draw date, but always verify for the specific game). Procedures for claiming prizes vary based on the prize amount. Refer to specific game information for details on prize claim thresholds and locations.

Game-Specific Rules:

While the above are general regulations, each NLCB game (such as Play Whe, Lotto Plus, Cash Pot, Pick 2, Pick 4, Win for Life) also has its own specific set of rules regarding how to play, prize structures, and odds. Players should familiarize themselves with the rules of the specific game(s) they choose to play.

You can find more information on how to play each game on their respective results pages on this site, or by visiting an authorized NLCB agent.
