The Bonus Holiday Cash 2nd Chance promotion has ended.
Bonus fun with the Bonus Holiday Cash Promotion!
Three of the Lottery’s Holiday Scratchers are eligible to be entered into the Bonus Holiday Cash Promotion!
Players can enter winning or nonwinning tickets of these three games: Holiday Cash 5X (Game #2251), Holiday Cash 10X (Game #2252) and Holiday Cash 20X (Game #2253).
The number of entries a player will receive for each ticket entered is equal to double the ticket’s price. For example, a $5 Holiday Cash 20X Scratcher will generate 10 entries into the promotion.
There will be five drawings over the course of the promotion, and, in each drawing, 25 players each will win $50 worth of Lottery coupons that can be redeemed at a Lottery retailer or Lottery Vending Machine.
The entry deadline for the final drawing is 11:59:59 p.m. ET on January 7, 2024.
A player also can enter a nonwinning Holiday Cash Scratcher into eXTRA Chances and will receive the same entry multiplication as in the Bonus Holiday Cash Promotion if the ticket is entered before 11:59:59 p.m. ET on January 7, 2024. That is, a nonwinning $5 Holiday Cash 20X Scratcher will generate 10 eXTRA Chances entries if entered in eXTRA Chances during the promotional period.
Odds of winning top prize in each game: Holiday Cash 5X: 1 in 636,480; Holiday Cash 10X: 1 in 391,680; Holiday Cash 20X: 1 in 342,720.
Odds of winning a prize in the Bonus Holiday Cash Promotion depend on the total number of entries received. Odds of winning any prize in the eXTRA Chances promotion depend on the total number of entries received.
GIFT RESPONSIBLY. Lottery games are not for minors.
