South Dakota currently allows the state to withhold lottery prize payments to cover debts owed by winners, but only for prizes exceeding $599. This bill raises that threshold to $500, meaning the state can now seize lottery winnings to pay debts for smaller prize amounts than before. Winners still have the right to appeal the setoff within 30 days.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
