   It could be as short as one week or as long as one month, but seriously, what does it matter?

   Are you saying that if you won the lottery, you’d be upset if it took longer? Are you in debt so high that your creditors wouldn’t take a picture of you holding a giant 8 figure check as collateral? Are you going to not buy a ticket because there might be a 6 week hold on your funds?

   At the risk of sounding like one of my colleagues here…it’s not something you’re ever gonna have to worry about.

   Cheers.

   As soon as you go to the lottery office and have your picture taken with the big check they will cut you a regular size one, then you can go to your bank…………………………………….

   They actually print the regular sized check first. Had to put it down to hold the big check up which for the smaller prizes was just a dry erase board.

   It all depends on just how your imagination works.

   I can actually dream in full color. My dreams even include music. Sometimes they are like full length feature films! Fun!

   I just don’t know what your dreams are like. Maybe you’ll have some dreams where you’ll get paid right away with a big dump truck of cash. Maybe in your dreams you’ll receive a giant check. Maybe you’ll have a bad dream and you’ll have to wait a very long time to receive your money.

   Dreams are fun.
