The Latest Way You Can Join In Our Big Celebration

Our celebration of the Iowa Lottery’s 30th birthday is amping up again today, this time focusing on lotto players, since our promotion earlier this summer focused on scratch games.

The “30-Day Ticket Giveaway” started this morning, giving players in the Mega Millions^®, Hot Lotto^® and All or Nothing™ games the chance to win a free easy-pick play when they make a purchase. Here’s how it works:

When a player buys a ticket in one of those three games and their ticket is the 30th sold statewide in that same game, the lottery terminal will play a special “Surprise! Player Bonus!” sound and then automatically print a fee, $1 easy-pick ticket for the next drawing in that game. It’s that simple and it’s FREE!

This special offer began at the start of business this morning and continues until 11:59 p.m. central time on Tuesday, Sept. 22.

Please note that the free ticket applies to the 30th ticket sold in each of those games statewide, not at one particular location. So have fun with it and be listening for the Player Bonus recording from the terminal!

Ah, using strategy, aren't you, Bob? :)

Here is the wording from the promotion rules themselves: The entry ticket for this promotion is an Iowa
Lottery Mega Millions/Hot Lotto/All or Nothing ticket, regardless of the cost or number of plays on the ticket.

So you are correct that five individual tickets would give you more chances.

I usually buy 5 Hot Lotto plays. Ususally just get them on the same ticket. The wording is ticket, not plays, so I'm assuming that I should now buy 5 on seperate tickets to have a better chance to win, Correct?
