LANSING, October 7, 2011 – If you don’t win a cash prize on the new Wheel of Fortune™ Instant Lottery ticket, on sale October 10, you have a second chance!
Players who happen to buy a non-winning Wheel of Fortune™ instant ticket can still win a trip to Hollywood! How? Players must enter their ticket in the Player’s Club at www.michiganlottery.com to be eligible.
Three winners will receive a five-day, four-night excursion for four, which is just the start of the fun! The trip will include a non-broadcast Lottery-players-only game of Wheel of Fortune™ with Pat Sajak and Vanna White. The prize package also includes round-trip airfare to Hollywood, two deluxe hotel rooms, spending money and more! Plus, there is an opportunity for the winner to spin the Wheel of Fortune™ wheel to potentially win a cash prize of up to $1,000,000!
Tickets can be entered from October 10 until February 11, 2012 at the Lottery’s Player’s Club Web site which is free to join. With each ticket submitted, a Player can play the Wheel of Fortune™ interactive game to win even more entries!
In addition, players who are not selected as winners for the Hollywood trip can win up to $1,000,000 in the Wheel of Fortune™ Multi-State Second Chance drawing. All entries received between October 10 and August 20, 2012 are eligible (excluding entries selected as Hollywood trip winners) to be entered in a preliminary drawing. Three finalists from this drawing will be selected to be included in the Multi-State Second Chance Grand Prize drawing that will include finalists from other state lotteries. From this pool of entries, one winner will be selected to win at least $50,000 with a chance to win up to $1,000,000.
Over 95 cents of every dollar spent on Lottery tickets is returned to the state in the form of contributions to the state School Aid Fund, prizes to players and commissions to retailers.
In fiscal year 2011, the contribution to schools was over $717 million. Since its inception in 1972, the Lottery has contributed over $16 billion to education in Michigan.
