We’re taking a trip down memory lane right now, flashing back to 1985. Tomorrow marks 30 years since lottery tickets made their debut in Iowa!
It was back on Aug. 22, 1985, that things got started with a kick-off celebration at the Iowa State Fair. We just found some old pictures from that day, so check them out! I’ve always been told it was a rainy day, and I think these shots do a good job of capturing it. Wet weather obviously didn’t stop people from standing in long lines to buy our state’s first lottery tickets.
I love the middle shot: Don’t have a table where you can play your lottery tickets? No problem, the shoulder of the person beside you will do!
We started our anniversary celebration earlier this year with our “30 Somethings” scratch game and promotion. And we’re not done yet. Check back here on Monday for details about the newest way you can get in on the fun.
