Packers and Wisconsin Lottery officials yesterday unveiled details of "three scratch-off games in which fans can win" '15 Packers tickets in addition to cash prizes, according to Doug Schneider of the GREEN BAY PRESS-GAZETTE. The $5 Champions Club game can "pay up to $45,000 instantly, and people who buy $5 or more in tickets can enter a second-chance drawing that includes 95 pairs of tickets to a regular season game, and one pair of season tickets in the club -- theater-style indoor seating above the south end zone." Packers $3 lottery tickets can "pay up to $30,000 instantly," and the lottery also is "selling $1 Go Packers tickets." Lottery Dir Mike Edmonds said that tickets are "available at more than 3,100 retailers." The grand prize includes "two Champions Club tickets" for all '15 home games, including playoffs. If the team "misses the playoffs, the prize-winner will receive $1,600 credit" to the new Packers Pro Shop (GREEN BAY PRESS-GAZETTE, 7/29).
