Hi, Phyllis and Steve. Please know that while we're proud of the lottery entertainment we provide in Iowa, we do not want anyone to play if it causes them stress or makes them unhappy. If you feel like you need to step away from playing the lottery for awhile, please do so. Buying tickets is something you should always do just for fun, as there is no guarantee that you'll win.

It is not true! If you win on the scratch tickets you have to live in Eastern Iowa. I have purchased several hundred dollars in the past couple months and can't even get any of my money back! I quit buying them. I am tired of losing my money!

sure seems like the scratch tickets are been non winning i buy a alot and they are never worth while , also how for years can i re enter promotion tickets never win anything wow feels like a waste of time


I've been playing scratchers for years. When the $50 ticket came out it was hot. It has totally cooled off to nothing since it was down to the last couple top prizes. I stopped playing it

If you live in Cedar Rapids, your odds of winning are greater. If you live in western Iowa, your odds are way less. We get all of the duds over here
