Iowa Lottery is celebrating its 40th anniversary – Scratch, Match & Win your way to over $200,000 in cash and prizes!
With a nod to the first ever scratch ticket sold by the Iowa Lottery, we're throwing it back to the '80s with a modern twist to the original Scratch, Match & Win! scratch ticket.
Lottery sales of the original Scratch, Match & Win! scratch game began in August 1985 at none other than the Iowa State Fair. It cost $1 and had a top prize of $5,000.
The new Scratch, Match & Win! scratch game, which began distribution at lottery retailers on June 3, costs $5 and
has eight top prizes of $50,000.
Get out your coins and put that scratching arm to work! Can you feel the burn win? You can enter your nonwinning Scratch, Match & Win! scratch tickets into your VIP Club account for
your chance to win an Iowa State Fair concert prize package in this new Play It Again® promotion. Winners will be drawn July 22!
Then, any entries not selected as a winner in the concert entry period will be rolled into a cash prize entry period. PLUS, keep on entering because more entries means more opportunities to win
cash in the final entry period! In honor of our 40th year, we are giving 40 winners $1,000, 10 winners $4,000, and a grand prize of $100,000 will go to one lucky VIP Club member! Enter before
10 a.m. September 17 for a chance to be one of 51 winners.
