It is said that a dog is a person's best friend, and now it's time to give your best friend a chance to be a part of a new round of Mississippi Lottery instant-win games. The Mississippi Lottery is asking players for pictures of their puppies for a new scratch-off ticket that will launch in Summer 2024. But you'd better hurry; Sunday, January 14, 2024, is your last chance to enter.

Mississippi Lottery Insiders have until the deadline to upload their favorite picture of their furry friend. To do so, use the special link emailed to you on the Afternoon of January 2, 2024. You must submit only one photo, and the picture must be of only one dog.

After January 14, a Mississippi Lottery panel will meet to review the photographs. Selected entries will be posted on social media, and the public will be able to vote for their favorite pictures from January 22 until January 28. The eight pups with the most votes will have their photos featured on the new Lucky Dog scratch-off ticket that will be launched this summer. As an extra bonus, the wight winners will also receive $1,000 cash to use to pamper their pooches. Winners will be notified by the Mississippi Lottery with a certified letter. The winners will be announced on February 2. No purchase is necessary to enter.
