Puerto Rico Powerball Rules

Puerto Rico Lottery. It seems the Puerto Rico lottery doesn’t quite get the recognition it deserves. However, the Loteria de Puerto Rica is the oldest known modern American lottery. Yet, since the state isn’t on the mainland, it’s very often overlooked. Get the winning lottery numbers for the Puerto Rico Lottery (also known as the PR Lottery). Results for each game are updated every 5 minutes! You can save your favorite numbers, receive push notifications, or search past results!

The first ever Powerball lottery draw was in April 1992, with a starting jackpot of just US $2 million. Since then, the USA's Powerball lottery game has become the most talked about lottery on the planet with millions of Americans participating in every draw.

Powerball is played in the same way in Puerto Rico as in other jurisdictions but there are a few specific rules that may be different to other locations:

You must be at least 18 years of age to play.
You can enter up to 26 consecutive draws in advance.
Ticket sales close at 10:59pm Atlantic Time (21:59 ET).
Lottery winnings in Puerto Rico are exempt from income tax.

See the How to Play page for more information.

If you win a prize of up to $800, you can claim your money from any licensed lottery retailer. For an award between $800 and $25,000, you will need to visit one of Puerto Rico’s regional claim centers, while you must collect a prize of $25,000 or more from the headquarters in Hato Rey, San Juan. The address of the headquarters is as follows:

Angel Ramos Foundation Building Suite 110
383 Roosevelt Avenue
Hato Rey
San Juan, Puerto Rico 00918-2143

Claim Period

If you win a Powerball prize in Puerto Rico, you have 180 days from the date of the draw to come forward and claim your money. If you win the jackpot and wish to take the cash option you must make your claim within 60 days, otherwise you will have to accept it as an annuity in 30 yearly payments.

You are allowed to stay anonymous if you win a Powerball prize in Puerto Rico. A law protecting the identity of lottery winners in the territory was established in 1989, and players who have pocketed big prizes have taken advantage of this rule to keep their names out of the public eye.

Where Does the Money Go?

The Puerto Rican Lottery has raised more than $5 billion for the territory’s economy since 1990. Once the prize money has been paid out, operational costs have been covered and retailers have received any commission they are due, the proceeds are given to a Lottery Fund and allocated to different social programs from there. Among the beneficiaries are the Scholarship Fund of the University of Puerto Rico, elderly people, various health and sports programs and individual municipalities.
