One of our players reached out to us to ask if the Iowa Lottery has ever given away a trip to another country or even around the world, wondering if that’s something people would like to win. It’s an interesting question, and the answer likely varies from person to person. But in general, cash has always been king when it comes to the lottery prizes we’ve offered, but with some other items on the “most wanted” list as well.
Through the years, our players have always told us that cash is what they want to win the most. Close behind that are some of the premium items we’ve given away in our games and promotions, including tickets to exclusive concerts or sporting events, cars and trucks, and the hottest electronics, including home entertainment systems and computers.
We’ve also given away trips, including cruises and vacations packages to destination resorts. And while those are popular, some winners would rather have the cash than the trip, and in some instances, it’s not possible to have a cash equivalent available. It’s all a matter of personal preference, and we get that!
And to the best of my knowledge, we’ve never given away a trip around the world. But it’s something to consider!
If you have a favorite prize that we’ve given away, we’d love to hear your thoughts!
Cash is king but especially seasonal prizes will sell best , like a great summer yard with pool , etc!

A trip to anywhere tropical sounds divine, especially during an Iowa winter!
