Second-Chance Drawings: Extra Value From Non-Winning Tickets

Many states let you enter losing tickets into bonus drawings. Here's the usual process.

Some state lotteries give non-winning tickets another shot through second-chance drawings.

How they usually work

  1. Check that your game has a second-chance promotion.
  2. Create a free account on your state lottery's official website or app.
  3. Enter the ticket code or scan it before the entry deadline.
  4. Wait for the drawing date shown in the promotion rules.

What you can win

Prizes vary by state and promotion: cash, merchandise, trips or event tickets.

Tips

  • Keep losing tickets until you've checked for promotions
  • Use only your state lottery's official site or app
  • Read eligibility rules and entry limits

A real second-chance drawing never asks you to pay to enter or claim.
