What happens if someone wins the lottery and dies?

[kayode10]

in this life no one can predict what will happen in the next 5 minutes not to talk of next year. Nothing is guaranteed in this world and this makes me to think about many things.

One of the questions I want to ask you guys is that What happens if someone wins the lottery and dies? I'll be glad if any of you can give response to the question I ask you over there in the comment section.

If someone wins the lottery and then dies before claiming the prize, the rules for what happens to the winnings vary depending on the state and country in which the lottery was played. In the United States, most state lotteries will pay out the winnings to the deceased person's estate or heirs

Indeed mostly the laws are same for most of the country that is because the person made the effort to play he invested money he took risk so he deserved to get his winning actuallly indeed to be honest .
