The Iowa Lottery is offering several cash and sports ticket promotions right now. If either is on your holiday wish list, you might want to check out these prizes from Million Dollar Holiday Play it Again to the Countdown to Carver and Prize Zone Promotions.

Iowa Play it Again promotion

In the Iowa Million Dollar Holiday Play it Again you have a second chance to win even if your instant win tickets don’t reveal a big prize straight away. You can enter the following scratch-off games for a second chance:

How to enter

You must be a member of the free Iowa VIP Club to enter. You can register on the official IA Lottery website. Once you’re registered, the easiest way to enter Play It Again is to download the LotteryPlus Mobile app and scan your tickets.

You can scan your non-winning holiday scratch-off tickets by clicking on the “Enter Drawings” tab and then the "Million Dollar Holiday" button. Once you have scanned the "Scratch 2 Cash" section of your ticket you can click “Submit.”

If you prefer, you can enter Play It Again manually. Click the “Enter Here” button on the website then enter the requested information.

Don’t forget, all entries submitted during the promotion that were not previously selected as winners will be entered into the grand prize drawing on January 10.

Countdown to Carver promotion

If you’re a fan of women’s and men’s basketball or men’s wrestling, or you’ve never experienced the excitement of these sports, join in the fun with the Countdown to Carver promotion. You could win tickets to the Carver-Hawkeye Arena for basketball and wrestling matches. For a chance to win, play Hawkeye Gold scratch-off tickets.

You can enter non-winning tickets for a chance to win VIP basketball or wrestling tickets or arena seats. Prizes include sold-out women’s basketball and Iowa men’s wrestling teams and a chance to go to the Hawkeye Basketball Doubleheader event at Wells Fargo Arena in Des Moines on December 16.

Prize Zone promotion

The Iowa Lottery Prize Zone is exclusive to IA Lottery VIP members. For a chance to win, enter your non-winning Jackpot Party Progressive InstaPlay tickets. Prizes include four Cyclone basketball tickets, parking passes, and $100 cash. The basketball games will be played at the Hilton Coliseum in Ames.

You can also enter to win courtside seats to an Iowa Wolves game plus $100 spending money. Simply enter your non-winning $50,000 Super Crossword instant-win tickets for a chance to win this prize. One winning ticket will be drawn at each December and January Iowa Wolves home basketball game played at Wells Fargo Arena in Des Moines.

You can join the Iowa Lottery VIP Club on their website.
