## After the Drawing
Drawings happen **daily**. After each one:
1. **Check results** — See the winning numbers on the homepage
2. **View matches** — Your tickets show how many numbers matched
3. **Claim winnings.** Prizes pay out to your wallet, in most cases instantly.
{% hint style="info" %}
From **September 28, 2026**, prizes of $500 or less need only a short one-time identity check. Above that, [full verification](https://github.com/coordinationlabs/v2-gitbook/tree/main/learn/kyc.md) applies. From the same date, a single prize of $1,000 or more also requires a [public winner celebration](/appendix/guaranteed-prizes.md#claiming-prizes-of-usd1-000-or-more) and is held for review before it can be claimed.
