Tomorrow is an event we look forward to every year for the opportunity to interact with those who have given so much for our country.
It’s the annual Veterans Day at the Capitol event. Tomorrow morning, our state’s veterans and their families will gather at the Statehouse in Des Moines to talk with Iowa lawmakers and advocate for ideas to help support the veterans community.
The lottery will have a booth at the event to provide information about the proceeds that we raise for the Iowa Veterans Trust Fund. We’ll add lottery fun to the day by giving away some lottery prize packs in contests we’ll hold at our booth in the Rotunda on the Capitol’s first floor.
Everyone during the event from 9 a.m. until about noon tomorrow is welcome to enter our contest for a chance to win a prize pack. We’ll also have lottery and veterans-themed swag at our booth to help lift people’s spirits on a cold winter day!
Since 2008, when lottery proceeds were first dedicated to the Iowa Veterans Trust Fund, the Iowa Lottery has now raised nearly $40 million for the cause. A portion of the money raised from the sale of all lottery tickets in Iowa goes to the Veterans Trust Fund to directly help veterans and their families.
It’s another way for us all to say: Thank you, veterans!
