Personal Information Notice: For the purpose of ensuring lawful distribution of New York Lottery prizes, the New York State Gaming Commission
(“Commission”), which operates the New York Lottery, requires the mandatory disclosure of your personal information, including your Social Security
Number or Taxpayer Identification Number, to determine statutory offset liability for prizes over $600 pursuant to New York State Tax Law §§ 1613-a,
1613-b and 1613-c. Disclosure of your personal information is also required to administer federal and New York State income tax laws for prizes over
$5,000, including, without limitation, Internal Revenue Code § 3402(q) and New York State Tax Law § 671. If you do not provide your personal
information, your entry may not be processed, your claim may be denied, you may not be awarded a prize, or the law may require taxes to be withheld
at a higher rate from any lottery winnings than would be withheld if your taxpayer identification number is provided. The Commission’s Director of Prize
Payments is the custodian of prize claim records and may be contacted at One Broadway Center, PO Box 7533, Schenectady, NY 12301-7533 or by
phone at (518) 388-3370.

and that prize winners like me must be publicly announced to maintain public confidence in the New York Lottery. I agree to participate in a news
conference to announce my prize, unless the Commission decides otherwise.
W-9 Certification – Under penalties of perjury, I certify that (1) the number shown on this form is my correct taxpayer identification number
(TIN), (2) I am not subject to backup withholding due to failure to report interest and dividend income, and (3) I am a U.S. person as defined
by the I.R.S. (For federal tax purposes, a U.S. person includes but is not limited to: an individual who is a U.S. citizen or U.S. resident alien; a
partnership, corporation, company, or association created or organized in the United States or under the laws of the United States; any

backup withholding.
