An extra shot at big winnings is on the line when you play Powerball® now, including the chance to go to New York City to ring in 2023 and be in the running to become the first Powerball Millionaire of the Year!
You of course have a shot at the game’s big jackpots when you play, and for the next month, you can enter your Powerball tickets in the Powerball First Millionaire of the Year® promotion for a chance at 20 Iowa prizes of $2,500 cash plus the possibility of becoming the first Powerball millionaire of 2023!
The Powerball First Millionaire of the Year promotion started at 10 a.m. today, and the entry period runs through the morning of Oct. 11. Any Iowa Powerball ticket purchased in Iowa on or after Sept. 4 is eligible for entry (winning and nonwinning tickets can both be entered).
Please note this important detail: Simply buying a Powerball ticket during the promotion period won’t automatically get you entered. You’ll need to buy a Powerball ticket in Iowa and then enter that ticket into the promotion through your VIP Club account. (Click here to join if you’re not already a member.)
You may remember that Iowa had two of the five finalists in last year’s Powerball First Millionaire of the Year promotion and they received at-home entertainment packages. But with travel opened back up, this year’s promotion will be handled differently.
In the Iowa drawing on Oct. 13, our state’s 20 winners of $2,500 prizes will be selected, and the first name drawn will be Iowa’s finalist who gets to go to New York for New Year’s Rockin’ Eve. That person will be in the running for the $1 million prize. The New York trip package alone is valued at more than $28,000.
Each eligible Powerball ticket entered will count as one entry into the promotion, regardless of the number of plays on it or how many drawings those plays may span.
Just after the ball drops to bring in the New Year, Powerball’s First Millionaire of the Year will be announced live on ABC’s national broadcast of “Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve.” And yes, it could be you!

Hi, LaRue. I'm providing two direct links here that will help you. The first is a direct link to homepage of the Iowa Lottery's VIP Club. If you have a Powerball ticket that you bought in Iowa, you need to be a member of the VIP Club to enter the promotion. Membership is free and it's easy to join: https://www.ialottery.com/Pages/VIPClub/VIPClubLogon_new.aspx And this next link takes you directly to the page for the Powerball promotion. There, you'll find helpful information, including graphics highlighting the codes from the tickets that you need to enter: https://www.ialottery.com/Pages/Promotions/2022/PBFirstMillionaire2022.aspx

Hello, Roland. I will ask a member of our VIP Club staff to reach out to you about your account.

I am a member and it won't let me enter.
