We’re gearing up for a weekend of fun in Newton! The Iowa Lottery will be at the Iowa Speedway starting later today for the Hy-Vee INDYCAR Race Weekend.
We’ll have a tent in the vendor area behind the Grandstand at the Iowa Speedway where we’ll be selling tickets and giving away fun merchandise prizes to the folks who get to spin our prize wheel. And with tonight’s huge Mega Millions® jackpot on the line, it’s a perfect time to get a ticket! We’ll be selling lotto tickets, scratch tickets, and InstaPlay tickets at our tent.
We also get to be part of presentations on the Speedway’s main stage to highlight the Iowa Veterans Trust Fund, one of the most important uses of lottery proceeds in our state. The Iowa Lottery has raised more than $34.8 million for the Veterans Trust Fund to date, and that money goes directly to help Iowa veterans and their families in need.
Sure, you play for the fun and the chance to win a prize. But you also know that a portion of every $1 spent on lottery tickets in Iowa goes to worthy state causes. We’re excited to join veterans and their advocates for these presentations tomorrow and Sunday!
And of course, the winners from this spring’s Powerball® INDYCAR Race Weekend promotion will be at the track for the headline concerts and races. Some of our promotion winners get VIP infield access for tomorrow’s concerts while another group of winners get to take two-seater race car rides on Sunday. It should be an action-packed weekend, all the way around! (Will Iowa will see a big jackpot winner to add to the excitement?!)
The Iowa Lottery’s tent at the Iowa Speedway will be open during these hours at the Hy-Vee INDYCAR Race Weekend:
- 2-9 p.m. on Friday, July 22
- 8 a.m.-7 p.m. on Saturday, July 23
- 9 a.m.-7 p.m. on Sunday, July 24
We hope to see you there!
