SCRATCH SPIN AND WIN
The Big Spin excitement has been exhilarating America and it’s coming to Idaho Lottery retail locations this July. The Big Spin features the opportunity for players to cash in on a top prize of $100,000, but it’s the journey of winning that is going be all the talk around the slushy counter this summer. STEP 1: SCRATCH The Big Spin is a $5 ticket that plays like a traditional Scratch Game. Players uncover LUCKY NUMBERS to match to YOUR NUMBERS located under the dollar signs on the rainbow-colored Big Spin wheel graphic. When they match the numbers, they then win the prize shown. If they reveal a stack of money, they win that prize automatically. STEP 2: SPIN If a player uncovers the DIGITAL SPIN WHEEL symbol , this is where the real fun begins. The player takes their ticket to any Lottery retail location to reveal their prize. The Digital Spin can only be done by a clerk on the Lottery terminal. Once scanned, a video will automatically play, revealing to the player the prize they have
won. The terminal will make the winning Lottery “Wooh” sound, and then it will produce the winning voucher for paying their prize. NOTE: The display video will not play on the Lottery vending machines, the Check-a-Ticket in the store, on the Lottery’s app, or in retailer locations with no player advertising display. WHAT TO DO WHEN A PLAYER WINS A BIG SPIN ON A THEIR TICKET: 1. Have the player sign the back of the ticket. 2. Be sure the bar code is clean. 3. Tell the player to watch the video screen. 4. Scan the ticket’s bar code with the Lottery terminal. 5. Every ticket with a Big Spin wheel symbol wins a prize. The terminal will print the winner’s receipt. 6. Pay the player their prize. STEP 3: WIN - THE BIG SPIN EVEN Anyone who wins a Digital Spin and then wins “THE BIG SPIN” will participate in a live event at Boise Towne Square, in Boise, where they will spin a giant wheel with a chance to win a prize up to $100,000! If a player has this revealed, a message will appear at the end of the video instructing the player to contact the Lottery to make an appointment for their BIG SPIN EVENT in Boise.
The store clerk should immediately return the ticket to the player and, if they have not already done so, the player should sign the back of the ticket. The player must call the Lottery (208-334-2600) to schedule a time for their Big Spin Event. Once the player contacts the Lottery, we will work with the player to set up a time to visit Boise and for their BIG SPIN EVENT. The winner, or their proxy, will participate in a Facebook LIVE media event for spinning the Big Wheel (a Big Spin Event Winner cannot remain anonymous). The winner is guaranteed a minimum of $50,000 and could win up to $100,000 when they make their spin. All BIG SPIN EVENT winners will receive a travel allowance of $750 for use in getting to and from Boise for their EVENT. Once at their Event, it’s as simple as Spin, Watch, and Win. Players spin the wheel (it has to go around at least three times), then watch, cheer, and win! That’s a new spin on winning! Let your players know all about the new spin on winning and get them to try The Big Spin scratch game for their chance to spin it to win it... up to $100,000!
