Change of Season

Did you know that Halloween marks the halfway point between the autumnal equinox and winter solstice?  It's a point of astronomical interest and the day that ancient Celts used to mark the beginning of winter.  What does that mean to you?  It means time is running out to enter the costume contest, but the holiday promotion is just ramping up.  And if you're superstitious about numbers, it might be a good day to play our online games.  However you plan to spend All Hallows Eve, here's hoping it's a good one. 

Thanks for visiting molotteryblog, good luck and Happy Halloween! 

Something big is coming!

Be on the look out for a special announcement next week!  You won't want to be left out. 

Holiday in the Driveway

Believe it or not, the holiday season is upon us - less than 60 shopping days left!  To help you cross a few names off your list, we're introducing several new holiday-themed Scratchers tickets.  There's the new $1 game "Merry Money."  If you like $2 games, there's "Happy Holidays" and "Frosty Bingo."  And, the $5 game "Season's Greetings" will make a nice gift with a top prize of $100,000.  Each holiday ticket features the TO/FROM line, so they can easily be used as gifts or gift tags. 

But that's not all.  In addition to these great Scratchers, the Missouri Lottery is also offering you a chance to win some prizes in the winter promotion "Holiday in the Driveway!"  Enter $10 worth of non-winning tickets for a chance to win one of three different vehicles, $1,000 in gas or $500 in cash.  The first of three drawings takes place on Nov. 29, and each one of them will feature a different vehicle as the grand prize.  You could win a Pontiac® Solstice convertible, a Jeep® Wrangler or a Chevrolet® Avalanche truck.  For official rules and details, click here. 

It may be getting cold outside, but the fun is heating up at the Missouri Lottery.  Good luck and Happy Holidays!

The pumpkins glow

The weekend is here, You're filled with cheer, It's time to don a costumed veneer,

Evil lurks, but you have no fear, Celebrate with friends far and near,

Apples bob, pumpkins glow, Is that ghost someone we know? 

You don't fret, it matters not, Goblins, ghouls, werewolf snot,

Take a picture, send it in, Captain Lotto hopes you win! 

Happy Halloween. 

Turn out the lights

Baseball season is all but over, and now our MLB® promotions are also officially closed.  Go here (STL KC)to find the latest set of winners from the final drawing.  It was a lot of fun while it lasted, and even though the games are closed, there seems to be a couple of top prizes still out there.  If you happen to see a "St. Louis Cardinals®" or a "Kansas City Royals®" Scratchers ticket, it might be worth taking one last swing. 

One more time

As if the promotion hasn't paid off big enough for players already, the bonus ball was selected again Wednesday which meant two sets of winning numbers for Midday Pick 3 players.  Even more curious were the winning numbers - 7-2-2 and 7-4-0.  Players with a seven in the combination were lucky, and the pay out was 150 percent of sales.  The "Midday Pick 3 Bonus Numbers" promotion runs through Oct. 27.  What will you be playing? 

The hits keep coming

It wasn't triples, but the bonus ball was selected again today which means a second set of winning numbers for Midday Pick 3 players.  Since the promotion began on Sept. 30, the bonus ball has been selected seven times, which means that many more chances for players to win.  The "Pick 3 Midday Bonus Numbers" promotion runs through Oct. 27. 

Deal or No Deal

The "Deal or No Deal" Scratchers ticket and second-chance promotion seem to be going over well with players.  The ticket is flying off the shelves, so be sure to get in on the action while supplies last.  Players who purchase a "Deal or No Deal" Scratchers ticket can enter non-winning tickets into a second-chance promotion for additional prizes, including six trips to Hollywood to be a part of the TV game show.  The first two drawings are complete, and the entry deadline for the third drawing is Tuesday, Oct. 30.  Three of the seven available top prizes of $100,000 have already been claimed, which suggests this game won't be around for long. 

Do you play "Deal of No Deal?"  What do you like most about this game? 

Bonus Triples!

The "Midday Pick 3 Bonus Numbers" promotion has been a huge success.  On Oct. 22, the bonus ball was drawn for the sixth time, and it paid off big for players.  The bonus numbers were triple 8s, one of the most popular combinations, and the Lottery paid out more than 400% of sales.  It was the seventh time triples have been selected this year.  The promotion runs through this Saturday, Oct. 27, so there's still chances for a second set of winning numbers.  Good luck. 

Happy Days not yet gone

It's definitely fall, but there are still some prizes available in the "Happy Days of Summer" promotion.  Two top prizes and six trips have yet to be claimed, so players have a chance to locate some winning game pieces in the few tickets still on the street.  Look for the $1 ticket "Sunny Money", the $2 ticket "Instant Payday", and the $5 ticket "Money Madness", and be sure to closely check the attached game pieces.  We'd hate for anyone to miss out on a Corvette® or RV, so don't overlook the "Happy Days of Summer" promotion.
