When you buy a Powerball® ticket right now in Iowa, extra chances at winning are on the line, including the possibility of spending New Year’s Eve in NYC to be in the running to become the Powerball First Millionaire of the Year®!
You, of course, have a chance at a Powerball prize when you buy a ticket. And for the next month, you can enter your Powerball tickets in the Powerball First Millionaire of the Year promotion for a chance to win one of 20 Iowa prizes of $2,500 cash plus the possibility of becoming the Powerball First Millionaire of 2024!
The promotion started at 10 a.m. today, and the entry period runs through the morning of Oct. 17. Any Powerball ticket purchased in Iowa on or after Sept. 1 of this year 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 is not an automatic entry. 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 a woman from tiny Swan, Iowa, had a ball on her trip to New York in last year’s Powerball First Millionaire of the Year promotion.
In the Iowa drawing on Oct. 19, we’ll select our state’s 20 winners of $2,500 prizes. Each of those winners will then be a semifinalist in a drawing from among the 23 states participating in this year’s Powerball First Millionaire of the Year promotion. Five finalists will be selected from all the participating lotteries’ contestants in a drawing on Nov. 8. Only one name per lottery will be eligible as a finalist.
The five finalists will each go to New York to celebrate New Year’s Eve and be in the running for the $1 million prize. The New York trip package 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 ring in the New Year, Powerball’s First Millionaire of the Year will be drawn during ABC’s live national broadcast of “Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve with Ryan Seacrest.” And yes, it could be you!
