Seasoned gamblers and players in the State of South Dakota are well advised to direct their browsers to sdlottery.org, the website of the South Dakota Lottery.

The site gives a low-down on available games, such as Dakota Raffle, Dakota Cash, Scratch Tickets, and the highly popular Powerball, a game whereby the player buys a play slip and chooses five white ball numbers and a red powerball number, and a monetary prize is won by matching some or all of these numbers. The site also explains the procedure for claiming prizes, as well as providing a winner handbook, and office locations. It is also possible to claim a prize by mail; the procedure is clearly described on the website. Furthermore, players can become members of the South Dakota Lottery Players Club for free, just by filling in a form online. Special events and promotions are held for members of said club. Lastly, the site includes a list of common scams, and gives players tips to protect themselves.
