What happens to annual jackpot payments if the winner dies before collecting all of the prize installments?

In case of a winner’s death, the West Virginia Lottery will continue to pay the annual payments, as scheduled, to the winner’s estate, trust or person(s) named in his or her will. The Lottery does NOT keep the money; the state does NOT take it. It is possible for legal action to be taken to have the lump cash sum remaining in an annuity to be made payable to the estate. The Lottery recommends that all jackpot winners consult a financial advisor and competent attorney as soon as possible.
