Here’s a great player question that just came our way: Has an animal or a pet ever claimed an Iowa Lottery prize?
The quick answer is that only humans can claim lottery prizes, and specifically, humans with Social Security or tax I.D. numbers. But the player who contacted us went on to reference stories through the years of people who left their estates or large inheritances to their pets. And he wondered if the same had ever applied to lottery prizes.
People certainly have the prerogative to make the legal and financial arrangements they want for the time they pass on, but when it comes to claiming Iowa Lottery prizes, only humans can do that. Digger the dog and Harvey the horse are out of luck on that front!
