Who claims
If a prize must be claimed at a lottery office, the Pool Admin (Alex Example) claims it as the person holding the ticket, on behalf of the members in the snapshot, and the pool goes on hold until the official amount is known. Wisconsin pays one claimant; the agreement names who claims and how the pool splits it. No successor admin has been named yet. The members may name one at any time; until then the platform can act for the pool if the Pool Admin cannot be reached for 72 hours. Taxes are each member's own responsibility.
Agreement version 1, section 7, as accepted by every member who joined.
Claim checklist for Wisconsin
- Sign the back of the ticket now and keep it safe. The photo hashes above tie this record to that ticket.
- Claim by Thu, Apr 29, 2027: Wisconsin Lottery allows 180 days from the drawing. Confirm the date with the lottery before relying on it.
- Claim where the ticket was bought: Wisconsin Lottery (claim rules). Larger prizes are claimed at a lottery claim center or by mail, not at the retailer.
- Group claim: bring this record and IRS Form 5754 so the prize is reported to each member for their own share, with one Form W-2G per person.
- Federal withholding 24% on a prize over $5,000.00; prizes of $2,000.00 or more are reported to the IRS. Wisconsin withholds 7.65% on a prize of $2,000.00 or more. Withholding is not the final tax.
- Anonymity in Wisconsin: No. Under the state's open records law, the Wisconsin Lottery must release the winner's name and city on request. (source)
- Settling: the Pool Admin records each payment in the pool and every member confirms it. When a claim is open, the round stays on hold until a person at ShareTheWinning records the official amount.
