2ND CHANCE - More Ways to Win!
Get another chance to win cash and prizes with bonus and promotional draws. All you need to get started is a Lottery account.
How 2nd Chance Works
Log into My Account and submit the 2nd Chance code on your eligible SuperLotto Plus®, non-winning Scratchers®, or $5 or more Fantasy 5 ticket. If you don’t have an account, it just takes a few minutes to register. Once registered, you can also scan your code into 2nd Chance using the Lottery mobile app. It’s that easy! Here’s how it works for each game:
SuperLotto Plus 2nd Chance
Your ticket gives you another opportunity to win $15,000 in a weekly draw. Every $1 you spend on a ticket gives you 1 entry into 2nd Chance drawings. For instance, your $5 play gives you a 2nd Chance code for 5 entries.
Scratchers 2nd Chance
Your non-winning ticket gives you another opportunity to win up to $25,000 in a weekly draw. Every $1 you spend gives you 1 entry into 2nd Chance drawings. For instance, your non-winning $10 ticket gives you a 2nd Chance code for 10 entries.
Fantasy 5 – 2nd Chance
Your $5 or more ticket gives you another opportunity to win up to $10,000 in a weekly draw. For every $5 you play, you get a 2nd Chance code for 1 entry into 2nd Chance drawings.
Your Codes Become Draw Entries
As soon as you submit your 2nd Chance codes, you’re entered into all applicable weekly draws. Along with weekly drawings, there are additional Lottery promotional draws you could also be automatically entered into. You can submit up to 500 2nd Chance codes a month, so you have lots of opportunities to win!
