Exploring Iowa with Iowa Lottery

Exploring Des Moines and the surrounding areas is one of my favorite ways to spend the weekend...

Whether it's steaming paella at Flavory Bistro in the winter or tenderloins at Goldie's in the heat of summer, there's never really a dull moment if you put your mind to it. Yes, Iowa has a reputation for being boring in some circles, but like most things and most places: it's as fun as you want it to be.

You just have to come to terms with the fact that it's not as easy to have fun here as, say, Chicago (with Lake Michigan) or San Francisco (with the Bay), or New York City (with everything and more). You have to be somewhat intentional with your fun-seeking, but that's a good lesson to learn. Iowa Lottery's summer promotion campaign aligns with this sentiment nicely….

"Explore Iowa" is all about encouraging people to explore our great state, while also entering for a chance to win Polaris vehicles or cash! One of the unique things about this promotion is that you can enter non-winning $5.00 Explore Iowa tickets for a shot at the prize! Visit this link to learn more about the promotion. Towards the end of the summer, the grand prize is a whopping $50,000! Talk about having a summer you'll never forget, right? 

The promotion runs through September 13, 2022 - so you still have time to enter. Here's hoping you win and make this summer one for the ages!
