District of Columbia lottery games
The DC Lottery is a jurisdiction in its own right, not an extension of Maryland or Virginia. DC 3, DC 4 and DC 5 sit beside shared jackpot games, and a ticket sold in the District belongs to the District’s validation and claims process.

What to check on a District of Columbia ticket
Check the exact game, drawing date or draw identifier, number of plays and any extras before paying. Afterward, compare each line separately against the official result and its prize table. A main-number match and a bonus-ball match are different things. Keep the ticket for official validation.
This directory covers the listed draw games and draw-game collections. Scratch tickets, changing Fast Play inventories, limited raffles and casino products are outside this catalog. Check the operator for those products, current availability and purchase requirements.
