Storm Lake Attraction Offers Discounts to Iowa Powerball® Players; Other Iowa Businesses Also Make Special Offers As Part Of Campaign

DES MOINES, Iowa – The latest round of money-saving offers in the "Keep Your Powerball Ticket Handy" campaign is available starting at 10 p.m. Wednesday, with a Storm Lake resort as the featured attraction.

The King's Pointe Resort is the fourth of eight featured attractions in the summer travel initiative from the Iowa Lottery and Iowa Tourism Office. The idea behind the "Experience Iowa" project with its "Keep Your Powerball Ticket Handy" slogan is to encourage people to travel the state, go to Iowa attractions and businesses and give the entire state a boost in these tough economic times.

King's Pointe is offering $20 off an overnight standard waterpark room rate as part of the campaign. The resort on the shores of Storm Lake was built with the assistance of funding from the state Vision Iowa program. King’s Pointe features 100 guest rooms, indoor and outdoor water parks, ballroom and meeting facilities, as well as a family-dining restaurant.

In addition, starting Thursday, players can visit the lottery's Web site to find out how they can use their nonwinning Powerball tickets to receive three other special offers.

To take advantage of the latest offers, Iowa Powerball players who have a nonwinning ticket from the drawing on Wednesday (May 13) can log onto the lottery Web site at www.ialottery.com, print off a coupon there starting Thursday, attach their nonwinning ticket and then present the coupon to the participating business to receive the special deal. This latest round of offers will be available through Saturday.

Powerball ticket holders must use one ticket per coupon, or select which offer they wish to use.

The lottery-tourism project will continue through May and June, with discounts from other featured attractions to include Adventureland Inn in Altoona; Riverboat Twilight, which offers riverboat trips from Le Claire to Dubuque; Iowa Marriott Hotels at special participating locations; PZAZZ/FunCity amusement park in Burlington; the National Mississippi River Museum & Aquarium in Dubuque; Iowa Speedway in Newton; and Honey Creek Resort near Lake Rathbun in south-central Iowa.
