Why can't we collect our winnings when we go to an agent that we didn't buy a winning ticket from?
This should not be so unless your ticket is valued at more than $50,000.00. If that is the case you would then have to visit any of Supreme Ventures Lotteries Limited Regional Offices, located at 28 Half Way Tree Road, 37 Young Street - Spanish Town, 74 Great Georges Street - Sav-la-mar, Shop F203 Baywest Shopping Centre - Montego Bay or at our Prize Payment Centre located on the ground floor of the Sagicor Building, New Kingston.
If the ticket is valued for less than $50,000.00 however (that is $49,999 and under), you should be able to collect your prize at any agent location island wide as long as the agent has sufficient cash on hand to validate the ticket. Remember, if the agent has not sold a lot of tickets amounting to the amount you won when you go to collect, or if he/she has been paying out to winners earlier, he/she might not have enough cash to pay you your winnings. If that occurs, please inform SVL immediately by telephone, and either try to collect your prize at another agent location or visit our Prize Payment Centre and we will be only too happy to validate your ticket and pay you your prize!
For tickets valued at $300,000 and over, winnings can ONLY be collected from our Prize Payment Centre, located at the Sagicor Building, Ground Floor.

Rain had wet me the other day and my winning Cash Pot ticket in my pocket was soaked and crushed. Can I still get my money?
Your winning ticket is just like money, so treat it with care in the same manner that you would treat your money with care. Unfortunately we would not be able to validate that ticket simply because it has been mutilated.
Why will JustBet be successful?
Jamaicans are sports enthusiasts, they enjoy betting, and are always testing their knowledge of sports. JustBet will give Jamaican sports fans the opportunity to combine their love for sports and wagering, with their desire to win, and potentially, win big!!!
How do I become an Agent?
You will first need to send us a letter stating your full name, business name, address, phone number and TRN number. We will then do a pre-screening of your business address to determine if a terminal is needed in that area. If one is required, we will then carry out an evaluation of your business to see if it meets the minimum standards, and then a C.I.S. background check would be done to see if you are credit worthy. We would also request a Technical Evaluation to be done by our technology service provider, GTECH, to see if there is a strong enough signal in the area. If all these requirements are met we will then make a decision to determine whether or not to install the terminal at your business place.
What sports will be bet on initially?
Football (soccer), Basketball, Cricket, Track and Field, American Football
Why does "THE "MAN" / "CHINEY MAN" play or not play certain numbers?
All the number(s) are randomly selected by a machine, and NO one knows which number(s) will be drawn.

- Write your prediction on the bet slip provided at the agent location
- Select the amount that you would like to bet and write in on bet paper
- Bet slip should be given to the Agent along with money being bet; agent will then print a ticket/ receipt from the MICROLOT terminal, and give to the bettor
- If customer wins, he/she can redeem winnings at any Just Bet terminal
Why is it that the same numbers in Cash Pot are replayed so often, sometimes consecutively?

Are all 36 numbers played throughout the year, especially during the easter season?

If I have lost my tickets and I knew I had the winning number, and even remember where I bought the tickets can I still collect my money?
A ticket is a bearer instrument (it is like cash), so that means anyone that has the winning ticket in his/her possession is the owner of the ticket and so will be able to cash that ticket.
If I have a winning ticket, how will my prize money be paid to me, i.e. by cheque or cash?
SVL agent locations island wide will pay your prize money to you in cash if it amounts to $49,999 and under; our Regional or Prize Payment Centres may pay by cheque above $20,000. All winners with prizes of $50,000 to $299,999 will be paid by cheque at our Regional Retail Centres in Kingston, Spanish Town, Savanna-la-Mar and Montego Bay. Any large Cash Pot prize won from bets of $2,000 and over on any one ticket will also be paid by cheque.

I am an SVL agent. What do I do if my customers have misprinted tickets?
Do an adjustment within the half an hour window that is available on the terminal to do so, if possible.
