How to Enter
To enter The Big Spin Scratchers 2nd Chance Bonus Draw, players must log into their verified California Lottery 2nd Chance account or create a verified account at California Lottery to submit a 2nd Chance code.  Any eligible, non-winning The Big Spin Scratchers (#1623) can be entered into the promotion by manual submission at 2nd Chance or by scanning each eligible, non-winning barcode using the California Lottery Official Mobile App. 

Players will receive a pop-up upon the submission of an eligible non-winning The Big Spin Scratchers ticket inviting them to either play or skip the Play-for-Fun experience (digital extension). If the user chooses to play, they tap the “SPIN” button on screen and will be shown the spinning wheel digital experience which will reveal the pre-determined number of entries assigned to their ticket at its conclusion; players who choose to skip will be taken directly to the screen revealing the number of bonus entries won. Choosing to play or skip the digital extension experience will not affect the number of bonus entries awarded.

Upon completion of an eligible ticket submission, players will be able to see the total bonus entries earned into each The Big Spin Scratchers 2nd Chance promotion weekly draw for which the ticket is eligible (based on time of submission), The Big Spin Scratchers 2nd Chance promotion Grand Prize draw, and the applicable Scratchers 2nd Chance weekly bonus draw in their 2nd Chance player account. Players will receive the standard number of entries based on price point (i.e., $5 ticket receives five (5) entries), up to 50 entries, for every eligible, non-winning The Big Spin Scratchers 2nd Chance code submitted.  The California Lottery is utilizing an optional digital extension for this game as a promotional advertising feature.  Entries awarded are predetermined based on ticket purchased and not affected by playing or not playing the digital extension.
