PUEBLO The Lottery is partnering with Loaf N Jug to give visitors to the Colorado State Fair the chance to walk away with more than cotton candy and carnival prizes. This year fairgoers can submit nonwinning Lottery tickets in drawings to win everything from free Scratch tickets to a new Dodge Challenger SE.
Any nonwinning Lotto Cash 5 MatchPlay Mega Millions or Powerball ticket sold for drawings between Sept. 7 2009 and Sept. 5 2010 is eligible for the State Fair drawings. Any Scratch ticket sold between Sept. 7 2009 and Sept. 6 2010 is also eligible.
We are proud to team with Loaf N Jug to provide Fair visitors with a second chance to win said Colorado Lottery Acting Director Tom Kitts. The opportunity to turn nonwinning tickets into potentially big winners really strikes a chord with our players.
