You had asked for more chances to win in our promotions, so we extended this year's campaign to three drawings from October to January for everything from gift cards to trips to Las Vegas!
"Winter of Winners" kicked off in October with the debut of 10 holiday-themed scratch games you can enter for a chance to win great prizes.
Here's the background about this early start: Player entries in our holiday campaigns have hit record numbers for the past three years straight. But even with that, folks have been asking us for even more second chances to win the very hottest prizes.
To enter Winter of Winners, you'll need to join or already be a member of our free VIP Club. Complete rules for the promotion are on our website, and we'll also post the drawing results there.
Here's the drawing schedule:
• On Nov. 14, we selected 100 winners of Bass Pro Shops® gift cards for $250 each.
• On Dec. 14, we selected 40 winners of home-entertainment systems worth $2,019 each. Each electronics package included a premium-brand, 42-inch LED HDTV with five-piece mounting kit; 1,000-watt home theater system with mobile digital device dock; and Blu-ray Disc™ player.
• In the third and final drawing on Jan. 14, 10 trip packages to THE PALMS™ Casino and Resort in Las Vegas will be given away. Each trip package, valued at $4,315, will include airfare for two to Las Vegas; a three-day, two-night stay for two in a deluxe room at THE PALMS™; roundtrip ground transportation from the destination airport to THE PALMS™; ticket allowance for two tickets to a Las Vegas show; and $1,000 spending cash.
You'll use nonwinning tickets in this year's holiday-themed scratch games as your entries. (Remember, winning tickets are not eligible.) The number of entries you’ll get corresponds to the purchase price of the tickets you enter. For example, a $2 ticket will get two entries in the promotion, while a $10 ticket is good for 10 entries.
Here are the tickets you can enter:
• $1 Holiday Gold or Happy Howlidays = one entry per nonwinning ticket entered.
• $2 North Pole Bingo, Merry MONOPOLY™ or Best Wishes For A Swell Season = two entries per nonwinning ticket entered.
• $3 Holiday Crossword or Jingle Bell Jackpot = three entries per nonwinning ticket entered.
• $5 Holiday Black or Peppermint Super Crossword = five entries per nonwinning ticket entered.
• $10 Holiday Treasures = 10 entries per nonwinning ticket entered.
Click on the "Enter Here" button on the Winter of Winners page to enter the 10-digit entry number from the front of a nonwinning holiday scratch ticket, along with the ticket number from the back.
A few other requirements to keep in mind:
• You can only enter the promotion on our VIP Club website. Hand-delivered or mailed entries won't be accepted.
• You can enter each ticket only once.
• And, while you can enter multiple times, you can win only one prize per drawing. Entries that aren't selected as winners in one of the first two drawings will still be eligible for the following drawing(s).
And, of course, all the holiday-themed tickets you enter in Winter of Winners will also earn you points that you can use in our VIP Club store.
You’ve got until noon on Jan. 12 to get those entries in for the last drawing. Good luck!
I entered a winning ticket, thinking it was a loser. I would think your pop-up response could be worded a little better than, "You will be permanently barred if you try to enter a non-winning ticket again"! How about, "You're a winner, YOOO-Hooo."
