Lottery Reminds Players About End of Sales for $1,000,000 Spectacular
"Even though sales of the game will end on Dec. 31, players have until April 2, 2007, to get their nonwinning tickets to the drawing address on the back of the ticket to enter the second-chance drawing," explained Vice President of Marketing and Public Relations Bonny Botts. "This is an exciting time at the Lottery as we countdown to giving away $1 million!"
On April 4, five finalists for the $1 million second-chance prize will be chosen to participate in the "Spectacular Drawing," date to be announced. Each of the other four finalists will win $5,000.
The $1 million prize is an annuity payable in 20 annual installments of $50,000. The winner also has the option of choosing a single cash payment of $670,000. All prizes are subject to required withholdings.
Players can enter the drawing by mailing one completed nonwinning $1,000,000 Spectacular ticket in an envelope no larger than 4.5" x 9.5" to the drawing address on the back of the ticket. Entries must be received at the drawing address by April 2, 2007, to be eligible.
