Super 7s Progressive is a $30 lottery game that features a jackpot that starts at $50,000 and increases with each ticket sold statewide until it is won.

The InstaPlay product combines features from instant-scratch and lotto games. InstaPlay tickets are called "scratchless" because they have no security coating that needs to be removed to determine the prize won. And rather than having supplies of tickets printed in advance like those in traditional scratch and pull-tab games, InstaPlay tickets are printed on demand for the lottery terminal.

InstaPlay games range in price from $1 to $30. For more information, visit www.ialottery.com.
