Q

Why was my deposit/payment refused?

Deposits/payments may be refused due to credit limits, suspicion of fraud or theft, or other personal reasons, such as a customer's account being frozen. In addition, payment processing companies may change their criteria for payment approvals from time to time.

Q

How do I use my bonus money to order tickets?

A

Bonus money can be used towards participation on the site and cannot be withdrawn from your account. When you confirm a ticket order, the system will automatically deduct the cost of participation from any bonus balance in your account and then from your real money balance. When there are insufficient funds to complete your order, your payment method will be charged. You can view your bonus balance in your account summary in My Account.

Bonus money deposited into customers’ accounts is valid for six (6) months from the date of deposit. At the end of this period, the bonus money will be removed from the customer’s account with prior email notification. Bonus money cannot be withdrawn from your account.

Q

How do I change or delete a default payment method?

A

In order to change your default payment method, please access your account and mark another method in the list that appears on Payment Details in your account and then confirm the change. To delete a payment method, click the trash can icon on the line of the payment method you wish to delete.

Q

How will theLotter Minnesota appear on my payment statement?

A

All transactions and payments made by theLotter Minnesota will appear on your payment method statement under the name MN Lotter Courier.

Q

Why is the price of the ticket non-refundable?

A

When you confirm your order online, an order form is sent to theLotter Minnesota’s office. Our staff purchases and scans tickets continuously in order to provide our customers with first-rate service around the clock. As a result, once an order has been forwarded to our office for purchase, that purchase is already in process and we are unable to cancel it.

If you feel that an error has occurred or you require more information regarding a purchase, please contact Customer Support.
