The Iowa Lottery was looking to break a world record yesterday by having the most amount of people simultaneously scratch off a lottery scratch ticket. The Iowa Lottery was celebrating their 40th anniversary and encouraged people to come to the Elwell Family Park at the Iowa State Fair.
The Iowa Lottery gave out free scratch off tickets to 1,380 people which crushed the previous record of 550 people set in 2023 in Poland. An adjudicator from Guinness World Records was there to verify the attempt. One person from Des Moines left with a $40,000 prize.
