I am so excited to tell you about our new promotion that just kicked off at noon today. Six Iowa Lottery players will get the chance to make what may be the most lucrative run of their lives in the Warehouse Dash promo. And plus, they’ll have a ton of fun, just like the folks in the video above.
Here’s how it works: We’ll be giving the promotion’s six winners the chance to go to the warehouse that supplies all of the items in our VIP Club store, including televisions and other electronics, housewares, jewelry, camping gear, sporting equipment and more. The six contestants will each get to choose a partner for a weekend getaway to Chicago, where they’ll go on a 90-second dash through the prize warehouse to grab as much top-brand merchandise as they can.
We anticipate that the winners will walk away with thousands of dollars in prizes. So now’s the time to start thinking about your perfect partner and doing some calisthenics to get ready!
To enter the promotion, you’ll need to join or already be a member of our VIP Club. On the ticket-entry page at www.ialotteryvip.com, you’ll be asked to enter the 10-digit entry number from the front of a non-winning $10 “Did I Win?” instant-scratch ticket along with the ticket number from the back. You’ll need to use a different non-winning Did I Win ticket for each entry.
We’ll hold two drawings to determine the six contestants for the warehouse dash. Three contestants will be chosen in a drawing April 12 for a weekend get-away May 11-12. A second round of three contestants will be selected in a drawing May 23 for the same weekend get-away package June 22-23.
The six contestants and their guests will get a two-night stay at the Chicago Marriott® Downtown Magnificent Mile hotel, a welcome dinner at the nearby Fleming’s® steakhouse, transportation to and from the warehouse for the dash, and then be able to relax and have fun on their own on the second night. Each contestant will receive $1,500 travel and spending cash and the lottery also will pay the state and federal taxes for the prize package. The Warehouse Dash prize package is valued at an estimated $20,000, but the total amount will be determined by the merchandise each winner selects during the dash.
And as an added bonus, remember this: While we have really cool items in our VIP Club store and we’re adding more over time, the warehouse includes all of that and much, much more. We can’t wait to se all the great items our Iowa contestants will grab during their 90 seconds of fun!
You can enter nonwinning Did I Win scratch tickets in the promotion through noon April 10 for the first drawing and through noon May 21 for the second drawing. Entries not selected in the first drawing will still be eligible for the second drawing.
We’d love to hear what you’d like to grab during a warehouse dash. Send us a comment here!
Hi, Dario, and thanks for the comment to the blog! Like any of our promotions, the Warehouse Dash is a limited-time offer. Only those tickets entered during the entry period for the promotion are eligible for the Warehouse Dash. The promotion started at noon yesterday, March 5, and tickets can continue to be entered through noon on April 10 for the first drawing and through noon on May 21 for the second drawing. Entries not selected in the first drawing will still be eligible for the second drawing. We wanted to choose a popular game for the promotion, and "Did I Win?" definitely fits the bill!
