A new game hitting the market this week here in Iowa has had us at the lottery laughing the entire time we were working on it. It’s just so silly and fun. We hope it makes you smile, too.
The new $1 scratch game is called “Dad Jokes.” To help build suspense, the first part of the joke is printed on the front of the ticket, but the answer is hidden under a box you’ll need to scratch off. (The answer isn’t part of the play area on the ticket where you try to win a prize by revealing three like amounts.)
The game offers prizes of up to $1,000, but we think part of the motivation to buy a ticket may be to find out the rest of the joke! There are lots of different jokes on the tickets themselves, so have fun learning them all.
Distribution of the Dad Jokes game has started today and tickets in it will be available at lottery retail locations statewide by Friday.
And yes, some of the jokes are so bad, they may make you groan. That’s by design. They are dad jokes, after all!
Good one, Crystal! And Keith, we are trying to give people a reason to smile. It's been a tough time for everyone, so it feels good to be a little silly.
