Lottery players in the Wilmington area looking to claim a big prize will pick up their checks in a new location in Wilmington beginning Monday.

The new regional office and claims center will be located at:

Wilmington, N.C. 28405

Operations at the old office, located at Market Station, 5214 Market Street, Suite 108, will end today, Thursday, at 5 p.m.

The office will be closed on Friday as the move to the new location is made. All operations will resume at the North Cardinal Extension Drive location as of 9 a.m. on Monday. The office is open Mondays through Fridays from 9 a.m. till 5 p.m.

Lottery winners can always collect prizes up to $599 at their favorite lottery retail locations. But they must visit a regional office and claims center to collect prizes between the amounts of $600 and $99,999. The offices are also used by the lottery’s sale staff that work in the region and to provide training to retailers who sell lottery tickets in the area. Prizes of $100,000 or more must be claimed at lottery headquarters in Raleigh.

The Wilmington office is one of six regional offices operated by the Education Lottery. The others are located in Asheville, Charlotte, Raleigh, Greensboro and Greenville.
