Your Chance To Attend A Lottery Drawing

Some of the most fun we have at the lottery is during our drawings where we get to give away the big prizes. This Friday, you can be part of the fun while we're at it!

We'll hold the latest drawing in our "Midwest Millions" game at 11:30 a.m. Friday at Jordan Creek Town Center. Join us to see all the behind-the-scenes stuff that goes into a lottery drawing! And if you entered a ticket in the drawing, you could see your name selected in person!

Midwest Millions is a joint instant-scratch game we've offered along with the Kansas Lottery. Some of you may remember that we debuted the initial version of the game in 2007. It was the first scratch game in the United States to be played by customers in two different states who competed for prizes as part of one big pool.

Midwest Millions was designed to test the "Powerball concept" that has proven so successful in lotto games. The idea is that by joining together in a game, lotteries can offer bigger prizes and more chances to win than they would have been able to do on their own. From a player perspective, we know that bigger prizes – and more of them – are always in demand, and we try to find ways to deliver those!

Friday's drawing also will help determine bragging rights between Iowa and Kansas! You see, Iowa Lottery players won both $500,000 prizes in the initial version of the game and a Kansas woman won the $500,000 prize in the first drawing this time around.

Will a Kansas Lottery player win the big prize Friday, or will it be someone who bought his/her ticket in Iowa? Come out and see!

We'll kick things off at 10:30 a.m. Friday with Big Ken and Colleen from Des Moines radio station KSTZ, Star 102.5. We'll be in the center court by customer service inside Jordan Creek, and the drawing itself will take place there at 11:30 a.m. Friday.

One player who sent in a nonwinning Midwest Millions ticket for the second-chance drawing will win a $500,000 prize and five other players will win prizes of $10,000 each. We'll have fun giveaways for the audience, too, so we hope to see you there!
