Instagram & Pinterest Contest This Week!

Now that we’ve made our official debut on Instagram and Pinterest, we’re holding a contest this week exclusively for our followers on those platforms. It’s our way to thanking you for connecting with us – and we plan to keep the fun going!     

This week’s contest started yesterday and continues through 10 a.m. on Friday. We’re giving away five prize packs of $20 each in the “30 Somethings” scratch game plus some cool lottery swag.

And as we move ahead, look for our social media contests each month that you can enter from Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Instagram or Pinterest! Our first contest involving all those platforms will start on Monday, July 13. Be sure to give us a like or follow so you’ll stay up to date on all our lottery happenings and contests!

We’re Now On Instagram & Pinterest!

We know you like to connect with us in the places you already go, so now there are two new ways you can do that: The Iowa Lottery has joined Instagram and Pinterest.

We’ve been involved in social media for eight years, proving that time really does fly! We jumped in when we started producing our own videos back in 2007 – and that counts as a couple millennia ago in the fast-changing world of social media!

But through it all, we’ve continued to gain new likes, followers and contacts, so we think (we hope) that means you like what we’re doing.

So now, in addition to our blog, Facebook, Twitter, Google+ and YouTube pages, you can find us on Instagram and Pinterest. We’re iowalottery (lowercase) on Instagram and IowaLottery (uppercase) on Pinterest.

Look for some changes coming in our monthly social media contests that we think will allow even more people to get in on the fun by entering them.

Two more ways we can say: See you there!
