Here’s a quick reminder as the date comes closer: The Lotto America® game is adding another weekly drawing starting later this month.
On July 18, Lotto America will hold its first Monday drawing, expanding the game’s weekly lineup of drawings to three nights. Moving ahead, they’ll be on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday.
This change in Lotto America follows the same move in Powerball®. That larger game added Monday drawings last year, expanding its lineup to three weekly drawings, also on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday. And at about the same time, the Lucky for Life® game moved from two drawings per week to drawings each night.
The changes are designed to produce more winners and larger, faster-growing jackpots.
Some folks have asked, so I’ll emphasize here that Lotto America’s $1 ticket price, odds of winning, and prizes will remain the same. The only change is the schedule for the game’s drawings, with Mondays being added in.
Lotto America players will continue to choose five numbers from a pool of 52 for the white balls, and one number from a separate pool of 10 for the Star Ball®. The All Star Bonus® add-on feature is available for an additional $1 per play to multiply non-jackpot prizes.
You win the Lotto America jackpot by matching all six of the winning numbers in one of its drawings. Other prize levels in the game range from $2 up to $100,000.
Hi, Seymour. To clarify a few points in what you referenced, Eddie Tipton did not work at the Iowa Lottery. He worked for a vendor organization within the lottery industry. The Iowa Lottery is the entity that noticed something was amiss with the jackpot claim attempt here in Iowa. We alerted investigators that something appeared to be amiss and ensured that the perpetrators were brought to justice. We did not pay the jackpot that the group was attempting to claim in Iowa. The prize involved ultimately was unclaimed and the money involved went back to the states in the game at the time. We gave away our portion of that money in a promotion for players years ago.

Tibbett's out of prison? so we started the lotto America game because an employee, Tibbett's ripped every Iowan off in the Hot Lotto game so they started this Lotto America. Time served for Tibbett's, however time was not served to the Iowa players who were asked to fill out claim forms that were never processed and this whole thing swept under the Rug, but back in the news again reminding us how we were misled by the Iowa lottery, we were robbed, by the Iowa lottery employee, and still no recourse for the players who were PAYING TO WIN and were robbed. Just like Lotto America, the jack pot is very high, just like Hot Lotto the higher the jackpot the more we VIP lottery players paid into the Hot Lotto in hopes our dreams would come true, but the only dreams that came true was Iowa lottery who profited off our money we spent to be robbed and cheated out of the Hot lotto jackpot to be given this game of Lotto America, but where is the Iowa Lottery's payment to their VIP players over this hot lotto scam that we were scammed by and lost money on?
