The Lottery recommends players use the following sources: watch the televised drawing (if available); listen to local radio station (if available); check local newspaper (if available); call Lottery offices (telephone numbers provided in brochure); ask retailers to print winning numbers from the terminal; check the Lottery home page at www.ialottery.com.
