Do you fight, fight fight for Iowa State?! If so, our August social media contest is right up your alley! Five lucky winners will win scratch tickets from the new "Cyclone" scratch game! Each of our five winners will receive four tickets (a $20 prize value).

The exclusive $5 scratch game features the Cyclones' cardinal and gold colors and offers prizes from $5 to $50,000! Not only that, you can enter nonwinning Cyclone scratch tickets into the "Cyclone Football" promotion for a shot to win Iowa State football tickets, including a trip for two to the Cyclones' 2025 game in Dublin, Ireland!
