Trash Reminder: Don’t Toss Iowa Lottery Holiday Scratch Tickets Until After January 5

Players Have the Chance to 'Tech the Halls' Even After the Holidays

DES MOINES, Iowa (December 24, 2009) - If you receive any Iowa Lottery holiday scratch tickets as gifts this season, Lottery Officials remind you to keep the nonwinners.

"Many Iowans will receive and play gifts of Iowa Lottery holiday scratch tickets for the first time," explains Terry Rich, Iowa Lottery CEO. "But for the first time, all nonwinning holiday tickets are eligible for bonus 'tech' gifts by entering the ticket serial numbers online at ialottery.com."

Lottery officials said the proper time to toss the tickets will be after checking the results of the bonus winners drawn on January 5, since tickets drawn must be presented to claim the bonus prize. "We'll have a lot of people winning bonus prizes they wished they'd received as holiday gifts," said Rich.

The Iowa Lottery's "Tech The Halls" holiday bonus promotion offers 200 prizes of Sony® electronics along with 10 cash prizes of $10,000. Players can enter the promotion by using nonwinning tickets in the six holiday-themed instant-scratch games released by the Lottery this season in Iowa. Different levels of prizes are involved for different tickets.

If your holiday scratch tickets don't win an instant prize on your holiday scratch ticket, visit the lottery's Web site at www.ialottery.com and key in the serial number from the back of your ticket to enter the holiday bonus promotion.

Here are the tickets you can enter and the prizes you can win: $1 Season's Delight = chance to win one of 50 Sony® portable DVD players.

$2 Snowman Bingo and Oh, Deer! = chance to win 1 of 50 Sony® Blu-ray Disc™ players. $3 Jingle Bell Crossword = chance to win one of 50 Sony® VAIO® notebook computers. $5 Holly Jolly Jackpot = chance to win one of 50 Sony® Bravia® 32-inch LCD TVs. $10 Nutcracker Cash = chance to win one of 10 prizes of $10,000.

Players have until noon on Monday, January 4 to enter the promotion.

The prize drawings will be held on January 5 and the lottery will post the winning numbers on its Web site. ®Sony products, marks and logos are registered trademarks of Sony Inc. and are used with permission.

For the First Time in the Israel Lotto’s History: The First Place Prize Winner Receives NIS 74 Million!!!

And the Second Place Prize Winner Receives NIS 4 Million!!!

ISRAEL (December 27, 2009) -- In the coming days, Mifal Hapais will present the historic check to the person who broke all records in the history of the lotto – winning the “double lotto” of NIS 74 million. The second place prize winner is also smiling after winning NIS 4 million.

With the new lotto, a millionaire is born each week, and to date, there 49 millionaires have been born, in comparison with 30 millionaires last year and 17 millionaires in 2007

At Mifal Hapais, we are anxiously awaiting the winners of the lotto held last night, in which the first place prize winner won NIS 74 million and the second place winner won NIS 4 million.  In the coming days, the historic prize will be presented to the person who broke all records in the history of the lotto and won the “double lotto” and a prize of NIS 74 million.

The winner, whose identify is yet unknown, will be the first Israeli to  slip this unbelievable sum into his pocket and will begin the year 2010 with a huge smile on his face.   In addition, the second place prize winner can also smile, since he won NIS 4 million last night.

Mifal Hapais reports that since the new lotto was launched in February, 49 new millionaires have been born.  On average, there has been one millionaire per week, on the new lotto.  This in comparison with the year 2008, where there were 30 millionaires and 2007, where there were 17 millionaires per year.

Mifal Hapais CEO, Shaul Sutnik says that with the new lotto, the customers receive a lot more money, because the rate of return of the prizes on the new lotto has grown from 57% to 60% and this means that a lot more money returns to the customers.

This year, the lotto gave back to its customers prizes totaling NIS 800 million.  This is an unprecedented sum – in 2008, some NIS 570 million were distributed in prizes for all prize levels and in 2007, some NIS 585 million.

In this Lottomania draw, 7 million lotto forms were sent in, with an average cost of NIS44 per form.

In the new lotto, you become a millionaire even with the second place prize.  The second place prize winner in last night’s draw will receive NIS 4 million, something that would not have happened with the old lottery.  “Just last week, a prize of NIS 6 million was presented to the second place lotto winner and in the past, second place prizes have come to NIS 5 million.  This is a really significant innovation, which pleases our customers.”

Florida Lottery Honoured as Agency of the Year at 2009 Diversity Awards

TALLAHASSEE, Florida (December 16, 2009) - The Florida Lottery was recently named State Agency of the Year by the Florida Department of Management Services at their 2009 Matchmaker Conference and Trade Fair. The annual event was held November 17-19, 2009. The awards, which are presented by the Office of Supplier Diversity, recognize minority-owned businesses as well as corporate and government partners.

"I am proud of the efforts by the Florida Lottery and its vendors in supporting the state's diversity initiatives. The Florida Lottery's purchasing office has been a state leader in ensuring that minority-owned businesses are afforded fair and equal opportunities to compete in the state's contracting process. I also extend my appreciation and congratulations to our gaming system partner, GTECH Corporation, for being named Advocate of the Year and for their leadership in making minority business participation a top priority," said Florida Lottery Secretary Leo DiBenigno.

The Florida Lottery received the State Agency of the Year designation for increasing minority spending during fiscal year 2008-09 by $61 million over the previous year. This is not the first time the Lottery has received this distinction; they also received this award in 2006, demonstrating a continued commitment and leadership towards minority spending and diversity. The Lottery also actively recruits minority retailers as part of its business operations and participates in regional workshops held by DMS, to provide an avenue for minority business enterprises to network.

Florida voters, by a two-to-one margin, approved a constitutional amendment in 1986 authorizing the state to operate a lottery for the purpose of generating significant additional moneys for education. Today, Floridians continue to show their support by purchasing nearly $4 billion in Lottery products per year, resulting in contributions of more than $20 billion to the Educational Enhancement Trust Fund since 1988.
