June 25, 2005

Maine State Lottery Director Dan Gwadosky announced today that the Lottery has launched a new game called Tri-State Triple Play which will replace the Heads or Tails game. Triple Play tickets went on sale Sunday, June 26th and the first drawing will be held on Tuesday, June 28th.

Gwadosky explained that, “Tri-State Triple Play tickets cost $2 each. Players may pick 5 numbers from a field of 1 through 45 or may choose “Easy Pick”.
In addition to the five numbers picked, the player will automatically receive two additional sets of five numbers for a total of three sets of five numbers on one ticket. The all-cash rolling jackpot starts at $30,000 and keeps on growing until someone wins! There are two ways to play and nine ways to win with Triple Play. Draw days will be Tuesday and Friday. Draw time will be 6:50 p.m.” Gwadosky said, “Mainers can learn more about this exciting game by viewing a special online “Demo” that can be found on the Lottery’s web site: http://www.mainelottery.com/games/tripleplay-video.html

According to Lottery officials, this year the Lottery will return $130 million dollars back to Mainers in prize winnings. An additional $15 million dollars in commissions is paid annually to more than 1400 Lottery agents across the state.
