Many state lotteries run second-chance drawings. You enter certain non-winning tickets for another shot at prizes. A lot of players never know they exist.
How they usually work
- You create a free account on your state lottery's official site or app
- You scan or type in eligible non-winning tickets
- Entries go into a separate drawing for cash or other prizes
Things to check
- Which games are eligible (often scratch-offs and some draw games)
- Entry deadlines for each promotion
- Official rules, to avoid copycat sites
Only use your lottery's official website or app. Never pay a third party to enter for you.
