In the not so recent past, individuals who had been fortunate enough to win the lottery had to venture to a lottery centre in order to claim their winnings. This was quite cumbersome, to say the least, and with the advent of technology and more precisely, the Internet, there has been a mass proliferation of online lottery sites. I, for one, was wondering if these platforms offered more convenient means of receiving winnings, such as wire transfer and bank deposits.
 
The answer to this question depends on the state where you live and play the lottery. In some states, lottery winnings can be sent directly to your bank account via ETF and ACH payment. However, not all states offer this option, and some require that you claim your winnings in person.
 
Most of the lottery companies require you to collect there winnings in person that can be actually harmful for the winner as well in my view there should be safer options available for the winners to have there money with ease
