Dozens of prizes ranging from $1,000 up to $100,000 are up for grabs in the lottery’s “Holiday Cash Bash” promotion that just opened for entries today.
Last year, we mixed things up and offered warehouse dash shopping trips as well as cash prizes in our holiday promotion. This year, we’re returning to all cash prizes.
The Holiday Cash Bash promotion features 91 cash prizes totaling $355,000, including a grand prize of $100,000. We’re applying the “max bet” concept in the promotion, meaning that the size of the prize you can win increases along with the purchase price of the scratch ticket you’ve entered.
Players could start making entries in the Holiday Cash Bash at 10 a.m. today, and the promotion runs through early January, with its final drawing date on Jan. 12. You can enter tickets on the lottery website or by using our mobile app.
Players can enter the promotion using nonwinning tickets in the 13 holiday-themed scratch games we’ll have available this year. Tickets in 11 of those games are already available in stores. Our final two holiday games for the year will hit the market on Nov. 1.
On each of the promotion’s three initial draw dates, 30 prizes will be awarded. Each time, there will be 10 prizes of $1,000 from among the $1 and $2 entries; 10 prizes of $2,500 from among the $3 and $5 entries; and 10 prizes of $5,000 from among the $10 and $20 entries.
The initial drawings will be on Nov. 17, Dec. 15 and Jan 12. The $100,000 grand-prize drawing also will be on Jan. 12.
Entries will not carry over from one drawing to the next, except for the grand-prize drawing. All entries submitted over the course of the promotion that are not selected as a winner in one of the initial drawings will automatically be eligible for the grand-prize drawing.
Hi again, Lisa. From our VIP Club records, we can see that you were able to enter five tickets into the promotion today, so I hope that things are working smoothly for you now. If you have further questions, please feel free reach out to our VIP Club staff so they can help. That email address is [email protected]. Good luck in the promotion!

Hi, Lisa. There are two holiday-themed scratch games that aren't scheduled to begin sales here in Iowa until Nov. 1. Those two games are "Stocking Stuffer" and "Snow Much Fun." I wonder if a store sold some to you in advance? The other 11 holiday-themed games we will have available this year are all on the market and you should be able to enter tickets in them.

On my app through my VIP sign on, it says these tickets are not available for purchase until November 1st. I currently have 5 non-winning tickets to enter.
