TOPEKA, KAN. – All aboard for fun and prizes! The Kansas Lottery is launching a game in which players can win up to $10,000 instantly or become eligible to win a 6-day 5-night Caribbean cruise for two on Royal Caribbean. The new $2 Bon Voyage instant scratch tickets will be shipped to retailers statewide this week.

The Lottery will give away four Caribbean cruise prize packages in a second-chance drawing to be held March 26, 2010. Winners will each receive a prize package for two on Royal Caribbean in a deluxe stateroom, including round trip airfare from Kansas City, $1,000 credit for ship incidentals, $1,000 cash, and all mandatory income withholding taxes. Each prize package is valued at approximately $11,250.

To enter the drawing, players should mail in their non-winning $2 Bon Voyage tickets to:

Entries must be received no later than the morning mail pickup on March 23, 2010. No later than 5:00 p.m. on this date, players may also deposit entries into any receptacle specifically designated by the Lottery. Players may enter the drawing as often as they wish, but may only one win prize package.
