Vermont Lottery Announces New "Play it Again" Program
Friday, May 18, 2012 at 01:50PM Berlin, VT – May 18, 2012 – The Vermont Lottery announced today that it will launch a new program, Play It Again, in June, as a new way to participate in second chance drawings. Play It Again will replace the current second chance drawing program, Recycle & Win.
Doing away with the mailing in of non-winning tickets to the Lottery, Play It Again will allow players to simply go to the Vermont Lottery Website (www.vtlottery.com/playitagain) to enter their ticket numbers for quarterly online drawings.
In addition to the quarterly second chance drawings, every specially marked Vermont Lottery instant scratch ticket will now have a second chance to win a top prize for that game after the game ends. Play It Again will be available 24 hours a day, and there is no charge to sign up or participate.
“We’re excited about the launch of Play It Again,” said Hadley Melendy, Director of Marketing & Sales for the Vermont Lottery. “Players will be able to enter to win more drawings from the comfort and convenience of their own homes without having to worry about paying for postage or envelopes.”
Since 2003, the Recycle & Win program has awarded $986,705 in cash and merchandise, and after the last Recycle and Win Drawing on June 13th the total will be over $1 Million.
