Oklahoma Winners

While winning a prize in Oklahoma is regarded as a matter of public record, winners can keep their identities from being disclosed by claiming through a legal trust or limited liability company. It is therefore the name of the trust that is disclosed, and not that of the individual.

Oklahoma has already seen some big winners since Lotto America relaunched. The first was a man from Woodward who landed $3.5 million in December 2020, having bought his ticket from Love’s Travel Stops. An even bigger payout came just a few months later, when a man from Oklahoma City won $8 million in July 2021. He had purchased his entry from First Place Convenience Store on Sixth Street in downtown Oklahoma City, and opted to take the one-time cash sum of over $5.7 million.
