Powerball Bonus Raffle

This is the final weekend to take advantage of the "Go Anywhere Getaway" promotion. Buy a ticket for the $325 million Powerball jackpot and you'll get a Bonus Raffle ticket for the promotion, which ends at midnight on Feb. 11. The final drawing will take place on Feb. 14. You've got one more chance to win a trip for two to anywhere in the world, a travel prize package or $100 cash. One of the grand-prize winners has already claimed her prize. Will you be next?

St. Louis Blues

Two lucky players are going on the road with the St. Louis Blues! The "You Scratch, You Score!" second-chance promotion wrapped up last week. We announced winners from the third drawing here, and some of them have already checked in on Twitter. There were more than 20,000 entries in the final drawing, with more than 90 percent being entered online through My Lottery.

We then conducted the grand-prize drawing from all of the entries and awarded two lucky players a road trip with the Blues. Winford Douglas of Richwoods and Julie Walsh of Florissant, along with a guest, will both get to travel to a road game next season. They will travel on the team plane, stay at the team's hotel and receive two tickets to the game.

Fans will get merchandise, tickets and unforgettable experiences just for playing the Lottery. By the way, there is still one top prize available in the "St. Louis Blues" Scratchers game - sure to be gone before the end of the season.

Let's Go Blues!

Team of the Month

The "Lebanon Bus Barn Buzz Bucks Buzzards" were the Missouri Lottery Team of the Month for January. This group of bus drivers regularly play Powerball together. We sent Producer Frank Finley down with their prize package, and he recorded this report.

 

Powerball Bonus Raffle

If you played Powerball in the last two weeks, you got a Bonus Raffle ticket for the "Go Anywhere Getaway" promotion. That ticket is an entry into a weekly drawing for a trip for two to anywhere in the world. The Missouri Lottery is rewarding players for trying the new Powerball game by giving away something reminiscent of winning a Powerball jackpot - the freedom to go wherever you want.

Between now and Feb. 11, we'll draw one grand-prize winner each week for a trip for two to anywhere in the world. We're currently looking for the winner from the first drawing. We'll also select five players to win a travel prize package, and 100 winners of $100.

Just buy a $2 or greater Powerball ticket for the current draw and you'll get a Bonus Raffle ticket for the next drawing. We'll announce the winners on Molottery.com, and you can scan your Bonus Raffle ticket on a Check-A-Ticket machine following the drawing.

Where in the world would you like to go?

Silver Anniversary

Today is the Missouri Lottery's 26th anniversary. We selected the final set of monthly winners in the "Silver Anniversary" promotion yesterday. The winners list if posted here.

There were more than 34,000 entries for the final drawing. The final 25 winners have been added to the map.

One of these 300 winners will become a millionaire in today's grand-prize drawing. Congratulations to all of the winners in our anniversary promotion!

UPDATE: The $1 million grand-prize winner has been selected.

Go Anywhere Getaway

New Powerball is here, and to celebrate, the Missouri Lottery is offering a special promotion for players who try the new game. Between now and Feb. 11, every $2 or greater single-ticket purchase of a Powerball ticket for the current drawing will produce a Bonus Raffle ticket for the "Go Anywhere Getaway" promotion. In four weekly drawings during the promotion, we'll select winners from the Bonus Raffle tickets issued that week.

Building on the idea that winning a $40 million Powerball jackpot would allow you the opportunity to do anything you want, we're awarding four trips to anywhere in the world. That's right - each week, we'll select a winner who will get to plan a trip to anywhere in the world (that's safe to travel, of course.) That's not all. Each week, we'll also award five prizes of a travel prize package - including an iPad, camera and luggage - and 100 players will win $100 in cash.

There's nothing for you to do - unless you win. Just buy a Powerball ticket and hold on to those Bonus Raffle tickets. We'll post the winners each week on Molottery.com, and you can scan your Bonus Raffle tickets on a Check-A-Ticket machine following the drawings to see if you won. Second-prize winners can collect their $100 prizes at retail, and all other winners must present a Bonus Raffle ticket to the Lottery to claim.

The "Go Anywhere Getaway." Where would you like to go?

Deadlines loom

Two second-chance promotions have final entry deadlines on Tuesday, Jan. 17. You must have your tickets entered online through your My Lottery account or delivered to the Lottery by 5 p.m. to be eligible.

Enter your non-winning "St. Louis Blues" Scratchers into the "You Scratch, You Score!" promotion for the chance to win tickets to hockey games and more. Enter non-winning "Missouri Lottery's Silver Anniversary" tickets into the "Silver Anniversary" promotion for the chance to win $1,000 and advance to the grand-prize drawing for $1 million. That drawing will take place on the Lottery's 26th anniversary, Jan. 20.

Good luck!

Last chance!

The Lottery is approaching the end of its 25th anniversary. That means now is your last chance to enter the "Silver Anniversary" promotion. There are still big prizes available on the "Silver Anniversary" ticket, and only one drawing remains before the grand-prize drawing on Jan. 20. 

Enter non-winning "Silver Anniversary" tickets through your My Lottery account by 5 p.m. on Jan. 17 to be eligible to win $1,000. Of course, each of the monthly winners will go into the drawing for the grand prize - $1 million!

Look for the "Silver Anniversary" ticket at your favorite Missouri Lottery retail location.

Let's go Blues!

The St. Louis Blues have been playing pretty good hockey lately. They had a four game win streak going until last night. They earned a point by going to overtime but were a player and a stick short during the extra frame and took the loss.

It's been fun watching the Blues play. There are still prizes available on the "St. Louis Blues" Scratchers ticket, which is available for sale in the Scottrade Center. Better yet, enter non-winning "St. Louis Blues" tickets into the "You Scratch, You Score!" second-chance promotion for the chance to win tickets to hockey games, merchandise and more.

There's a lot of season left to play, but the promotion is ending soon. Your last chance to enter is Tuesday, Jan. 17. Pick up a ticket today, and let's go Blues!

Holiday winners!

The final drawing in the "Cash Away, Cash Away, Cash Away All!" second-chance promotion is complete. The winners list is posted here.

By far the largest of the three drawings, there were more than 314,000 entries for this drawing! About 77 percent of them were entered online through My Lottery accounts. Congratulations to all of the winners!
