PA Lottery Instant Games Featuring Philadelphia Eagles, Pittsburgh Steelers on Sale Today

Hundreds of Unique, Exciting Second-Chance Prizes Available

MIDDLETOWN, Pa., July 20 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- With football season fast approaching, the Pennsylvania Lottery is again partnering with the Philadelphia Eagles and Pittsburgh Steelers to unveil its newest $5 instant games. The games, on sale statewide today, each feature five top prizes of $100,000 and hundreds of exciting second-chance drawing prizes.

"Our collaboration with Pennsylvania's professional football teams has been a huge success," said Lottery Executive Director Ed Trees, noting that the PA Lottery previously introduced Eagles™ and Steelers® instant games in 2009. "These games offer big cash prizes, but they also offer something true fans might consider even more valuable – a chance to get up close and personal with the teams at games and special events."

The Eagles and Steelers instant games each offer more than $19 million in total cash prizes. Players can win up to 12 times on each ticket, and the overall odds of winning a Steelers or Eagles instant prize are 1-in-4.24.

Also, players can enter non-winning Eagles and Steelers tickets for a chance to win hundreds of experiential prizes, such as attending a home game and participating in on-field activities, traveling on VIP road trips to away games, sitting in on media events, joining team representatives for draft events, meeting with team coaches and touring the teams' practice facilities.

Five separate second-chance drawings for each game will be held throughout the football season. The first second-chance drawings will be held the week of Aug. 16.

Players can enter the Eagles second-chance drawings by submitting three non-winning Eagles instant game tickets to: Pennsylvania Lottery – Eagles 2010 Second-Chance Drawings, P.O. Box 200, Middletown, PA  17057-0200.
