Prize Zone FAQs
General
What is the Prize Zone?
Prize Zone is a virtual club where the fun never stops, and there's always something new and exciting happening! It's a special part of the
VIP Club that'll make the VIP experience even "VIP-i-er"!
What prizes can I win in the Prize Zone?
VIP Club members can enter ongoing Prize Zone promotions for cash, technology, Lottery tickets, gift cards and experiential prizes.
Which tickets can I use to enter Prize Zone promotions?
Eligible tickets for entry into Prize Zone promotions will vary, and not all tickets are eligible.
Can I enter my ticket more than once?
No, each eligible ticket will receive only one entry in a promotion drawing.
How can I get more information about upcoming Prize Zone promotions?
Check the Prize Zone page for more information. Be sure to check back often
to see what's coming up so you can save the designated tickets to enter.
How are winners notified if they have won?
Winners will be notified by the email that they use for their VIP Club account.
I'm getting an error that my ticket number is not valid. What should I do?
There are a few things we ask people to do when this occurs:
- For scratch or InstaPlay tickets, be sure the ticket is not a winner. If the ticket is a winner, it will come up as an invalid entry.
- For Lotto tickets, such as Powerball, both winning and nonwinning tickets are eligible for entry, but normally there will be a purchase by date to be eligible to enter that ticket.
- Double-check the numbers you are entering to be sure they are correct and that you have all the boxes filled in.
- If you are not sure which numbers to enter, check the "Trouble finding your entry codes" area and click on the appropriate link
(Scratch ticket, InstaPlay ticket or Lotto ticket, depending on the game) on the page where you enter the drawing within the VIP Club.
How often can I enter a promotion?
You can make 40 attempts to enter tickets in a promotion(s) per day. After midnight your account will reset, and you can enter more tickets at that time.
Prize Zone: Fire or Ice, a Concert is NICE!
Which tickets are eligible?
Nonwinning Fire 7s or Ice 7s scratch tickets (game #758) are eligible for entry in this
promotion. No other Iowa Lottery tickets are eligible for entry in this promotion.
I can't find the number I need to enter from the front of my ticket. Can you help?
Scratch off all of the scratch material in the play area toward the bottom of the ticket under where it says “WIN UP TO $50,000!” to uncover the 10-digit
number needed for manual entry.
