May the Winning Continue!

We just closed out a great month of winning with TWO million-dollar Powerball® wins, TWO $250,000 Mega Millions wins, TWO $40,000 Mega Millions wins, and FOURTEEN $25,000 or above wins with DC 5. When we say, “Lots of People Win,” with the D.C. Lottery—we mean it! You can always share in the joy of our winners and read their stories by checking out our Winners page.

This month, we’re giving players a ‘High Five’ with DC 5, D.C.’s hottest numbers game. Starting May 6, 2012, get $5 of DC 5 for just $4. That’s a savings of 20% and wagers must be on a single bet slip. Like the ponies? Play Race2Riches Tripler. Through May 26, 2012, we will triple your win on any play up to $1,000,000. If your winning ticket has the congratulatory “Tripler” message, you’ve just won three times your prize. Hit the track with Race2Riches today.

Looking ahead at spring, the D.C. Lottery is forecasting new games, great promotions, and a blossoming of winning opportunities ready to be picked.

Let’s keep the winning going! We’re still on the lookout for that $ 1 million D.C. Gold ticket that’s yet to be claimed. In addition to the $1 million top prize, D.C. Gold still has cash prizes left at every level including two $25,000 prizes, four $10,000 prizes, and more. Even if your ticket isn’t an initial winner, remember to enter the Second Chance drawing for another chance at the life-changing million-dollar prize.

We’ve got our engines revved for the Cadillac Riches D.C. Scratcher. We congratulated the remaining $50,000 top prize winner last month and we’ve got the green light for the Second Chance drawing scheduled May 23, 2012. Somebody’s going to look great in the 2012 Cadillac CTS we’re giving away. It might as well be you! Get your tickets in by May 22, 2012.

Play like a pharaoh with our new Pyramids of Cash game. It’s the latest addition to the D.C. Fast Play lineup. With a top prize of $5,000, you can “Walk like an Egyptian,” to your nearest D.C. Lottery retailer to play. Catch all of the newest D.C. Lottery games including D.C. Scratchers on our Games page. Remember, D.C. Fast Play is your quickest way to win.
