Winning Galentine’s Gift Ideas from the Illinois Lottery

February 11, 2020

Celebrate Your Favorite Gal Pals on February 13

CHICAGO  – This Galentine’s Day, the Illinois Lottery wants to help players celebrate their favorite gal pals with winning gift ideas. Galentine’s Day is held on February 13, and is the day set aside around Valentine’s Day to celebrate female friendships.

GALENTINE’S GIFT IDEAS FROM THE ILLINOIS LOTTERY

The Illinois Lottery has a few ideas for how you can help your gal pals hit the jackpot this February:

  • Sugar Surprise - create a basket with a mason jar layered with cookie ingredients, measuring spoons, dish towels and tuck in a Ruby Red Instant Ticket.
  • Girls Game Night - pick up a MONOPOLYTM Multiplier Instant Ticket and include it in a classic MONOPOLYTM game.
  • Whole Lotta Lotto Love - pick up a sassy succulent plant and include a Lucky Day Lotto Ticket in the card.
  • Chocolate Million Dollar Mug - make a hot chocolate basket with mugs, marshmallows and toppings and hide a Mega Millions ticket inside.
  • Bouquet of BUCKS - swap out the roses this season and replace them with a beautiful bouquet of Money Bags Instant Tickets instead.
  • Dog Mom’s Delight - assemble a bundle of bones for your favorite fur baby and add a Lucky Dog Instant Ticket as a gift tag for your bestie.

The unofficial holiday of Galentine’s Day was created in 2010 thanks to season two of the television show “Parks and  Recreation” and the show’s lead character Leslie Knope. For the last ten years, women around the globe have been celebrating their lady friends on the day before Valentine’s Day.

In addition to playing in-store at one of the Illinois Lottery’s 7,200 retail locations, the Lottery offers online and mobile play for all draw-based Illinois Lottery games at illinoislottery.com. Players must be at least 18 years old.
