The introduction of 2nd Chance instant scratch-off games and Cash 3, the MLC’s first daily draw game, has proven to be exciting new attractions for players. With 2nd Chance games, players have the option to enter non-winning tickets for an opportunity to win a top prize at a later date.
“In the first month of 2nd Chance games, we have had more than 258,000 entries submitted by 14,225 registrants,” said Tom Shaheen, president of the MLC. “Cash 3, offered only in Mississippi, went on sale September 1, 2020, and has been growing in popularity each day. Cash 3 provides players exciting daily draws with multiple varieties to play and win.”
