'Power Cruise™' Promotion Offers Powerball® Players Chance To Win Exclusive Caribbean Vacation
25 Cruise Packages Up For Grabs In Iowa As Part of Lottery Promotion
CLIVE, Iowa – Iowa Lottery players can enter Powerball® tickets in an online promotion during the next two months for a shot at 25 Caribbean cruise vacation
packages sailing to Key West, Fla., and Cozumel, Mexico.
"We're part of a group of lotteries that will take over an entire cruise ship to give Powerball players a can't-miss trip," Iowa Lottery CEO Terry Rich
said. "We'll deck out the entire ship with the Powerball logo and colors, have cash-prize drawings exclusively for those on board, and bring in headline acts to
put on concerts for the lucky audience on the ship. It will be an experience you can't find anywhere else."
Powerball players can enter the "Power Cruise™" promotion online from Sunday through March 29 using the code printed on eligible tickets. The Iowa Lottery
will hold six prize drawings for cruise packages, with 25 trips awarded to players who enter with Iowa tickets. The Caribbean cruise on the Royal Caribbean®
"Brilliance of the Seas®" ship will depart from Tampa, Fla., in January 2018 to give trip winners plenty of time to plan for their vacations.
Iowa is one of 24 U.S. lotteries that will be part of the Power Cruise campaign, with the entire ship exclusively reserved for the five-night cruise for lottery trip
winners from across the country.
Twelve of the cruise packages available to Iowa players will be for Balcony staterooms on the ship; seven will be for Ocean View staterooms; and six will be for Interior
staterooms. Each vacation package for two will include airfare to Florida; a one-night hotel stay in Tampa the night before the cruise departs; ground transportation from
the airport to the hotel and the hotel to the port; a stateroom with all amenities for a five-night cruise to the Caribbean departing Jan. 15, 2018, with two ports of call;
a $250 credit on the ship; primary gratuities paid for the room attendant and dining-room staff on the ship; and ground transfer from the port to the airport when the
cruise has concluded. The cruise packages are each valued at more than $4,800.
Once the cruise begins, the fun will really get going for those on the ship. There will be 200 pre-paid gift cards of $500 each awarded to registered trip winners on
the ship. And on the final evening of the cruise, a $50,000 grand prize will be awarded to one of the registered trip winners onboard.
Those on the cruise liner also will be treated to exclusive concerts by the rock group the Goo Goo Dolls; rap artist Flo Rida and pop singer Macy Kate.
To enter the promotion, Iowa Lottery players must join or already be members of the lottery's free VIP Club. Powerball tickets purchased from Feb. 5-March 29
can be entered in the promotion via the lottery's VIP Club website or on the Power Cruise Collect 'N Win app available through iTunes® and Google Play®.
