SPECIAL EVENTS
Throughout the year, the Florida Lottery participates in local events and radio remotes across the state, providing community outreach and support. Taking part in these events helps the Lottery to increase public awareness of the Lottery's commitment to education. The following is a listing of events where the Florida Lottery is participating.
POWERBALL EDUCATION TOUR SCHEDULE
The Florida Lottery is kicking-off a statewide POWERBALL® tour to educate consumers on how the game is played. The 11-stop tour starts on Saturday, December 13th. Florida Lottery POWERBALL ambassadors will be present at each of the locations to interact with consumers and explain, on a one-on-one basis, how to play POWERBALL with Power Play®.
Just in time for the holidays, the Florida Lottery will be raffling a Nintendo® Wii and a 42” Panasonic TV at each tour stop beginning with the December 16th event. To register for the drawing, consumers must participate in the "How to Play" minute-long session with a POWERBALL ambassador. Each participant will receive an entry form for the drawings. Participants do not have to be present for the drawing to win.
To keep the excitement going, the Florida Lottery will also be giving away Scratch-Off tickets as well as promotional items.
