All entries received at the promotional address listed in rule #5, through www.molottery.com and those received at Lottery offices by the listed entry deadline dates will be eligible for a chance to win the following prizes:

Grand Prize (5 prizes per drawing; 15 prizes total)

Trip for four to Hawaii (not to exceed a cost of $8,000) plus $2,000 spending cash. Winners have the option to choose the cash value of the prize ($10,000). The Missouri Lottery will pay standard federal and state withholding taxes for the grand prize based on the total prize value. The winner will be responsible for any additional applicable taxes.

First Prize (15 prizes per drawing; 45 prizes total)

$1,000 shopping spree. The Missouri Lottery will pay standard federal and state withholding taxes based on the total prize value. The winner will be responsible for any additional applicable taxes.

Second Prize (50 prizes per drawing; 150 prizes total)

$300 worth of Missouri Lottery Scratchers®. State statute does not allow the Missouri Lottery to mail tickets over state lines. Therefore, out-of-state winners will receive a check for $300.
Entries that are mailed to the stated address in #5 or hand-delivered to a Lottery office that are not placed in an envelope are ineligible as indicated in #4 and will be disqualified. Players must provide their own envelope. Missouri Lottery employees will not provide envelopes for entries being deposited at the regional offices or headquarters.
The player’s complete name and address must be clearly provided on the back of at least one of the tickets used for entry and/or the entry envelope, or on the entry filled out at www.molottery.com, so that the owners of winning entries can be identified and contacted. Incomplete or illegible entries may be disqualified. Entries with address stamps or stickers are acceptable, but they also should have a complete name and address.
If more than one person’s name appears on the tickets drawn as a winner, the first name listed will be deemed the owner of the entry. If an entry with the same player information (to include the same two names) is drawn again, it will be declared a duplicate and, therefore, invalid.
Player signatures are not required on entries.
A player will be limited to winning only once in each drawing and limited to winning only one grand prize throughout the duration of the “Holiday in Hawaii” promotion.
A prize winner who enters through www.molottery.com will be required to furnish the Missouri Lottery with the actual Scratchers tickets with the corresponding 14-digit serial numbers used to enter the promotion within 14 business days of the announcement of their entry being drawn as a winner. Prize winners may not substitute the actual tickets with a fax or photocopy of the ticket. If the winner is unable to furnish the actual ticket within the stated time limit, no prize will be awarded to that person and the next alternate will be contacted. The Missouri Lottery is not responsible for winning tickets that are lost or delayed due to placing them in the mail – consideration of the prize award in this case will only be given to players who can provide official receipt to confirm the winning tickets were received by the Missouri Lottery by the official deadline, such as a registered mail receipt from the United States Postal Service (USPS), along with a copy of the winning ticket(s).
The prize winner will be notified via mail of their prize after all verification has taken place and will be required to complete a promotional claim form, as well as furnish their Social Security number to the Missouri Lottery. The Missouri Lottery has the right to release prize winner information to various media sources and list winners’ names and pictures on www.molottery.com.
The Missouri Lottery, at its sole discretion, reserves the right to substitute a prize of equal or greater value if a prize cannot be awarded as described for any reason. Additional restrictions and conditions, if any, specific to a particular prize will be disclosed to winners upon prize notification.
The prizes pictured in game/promotional materials are for illustrative purposes only.
All entries remaining after each drawing will be void and ineligible for entry into any other promotion conducted by the Missouri Lottery and will be destroyed by the Missouri Lottery.
Only persons 18 years of age or older are eligible to enter. Winners may be required to furnish proof of age.
The chances of winning are dependent upon the number of entries received for each drawing.
Any additional local, state, federal or other taxes, expenses or surcharges associated with the prizes not mentioned in these rules are the responsibility of the winner.
The Missouri Lottery and its agencies are not responsible for error, omission, interruption, deletion, defect, delay in operations or transmission, theft or destruction or unauthorized access to or alterations of entry materials or for technical, network, telephone equipment, electronic, computer, hardware or software malfunctions of any kind, or inaccurate transmission of or failure to receive entry, winner or other contest information by sponsors or entrants for any reason whatsoever.
