TOPEKA, Kan. – The Kansas Lottery has launched a new $1 instant scratch game, the proceeds of which are directed to programs that assist Kansas military veterans. Tickets in the new 7/11/21 game sell for $1 each. Players have a chance to win hundreds of thousands of instant prizes in the game, ranging from a free ticket to $2,100. Overall odds of winning are 1 in 4.08.

Veterans games, which currently include the $2 game Super Stars and Stripes and the $1 Red, White & Blue game, as well as the 7/11/21 game, are like any other Kansas Lottery instant games in terms of odds and prize payouts. The only difference is that proceeds from these games are directed to Kansas Veterans programs.

The Kansas Lottery is in its 13th year of generating direct revenue for programs that help Kansas military veterans. Since the legislation authorizing Veterans Benefit games was passed in 2003, the Lottery has transferred nearly $13.6 million from the sales of these games, including $1.6 million in Fiscal Year 2015. Current beneficiaries of proceeds from Veterans tickets are:

30% – Veterans Enhanced Service Delivery Program

40% – Kansas National Guard Education Assistance Scholarships

30% – Kansas Veteran Homes and Cemeteries

The Kansas Lottery encourages you to support Kansas Veterans by asking for Veterans games when you purchase instant scratch tickets at your favorite lottery retailer.
