Pasadena Ravens Fan Gets Birthday Gift from the Lottery
Will Travel with Baltimore Ravens on Team Plane to Pittsburgh

 
(Baltimore, MD) – For years Kevin Dunnigan has been an occasional Lottery player.  He’d enjoy a scratch-off every once in a while, try Mega Millions whenever the jackpot got big, but he never found a game that grabbed his attention like the Lottery’s Ravens Cash Fantasy scratch-off.

Big fans of the hometown team, Kevin and his wife have season tickets, they tailgate, the whole nine yards.  As a matter of fact, because Kevin’s 40th birthday falls on the Sunday that the Ravens play the Steelers in Pittsburgh they discussed going to the game to celebrate the big day.  Finances being what they are, they decided against the trip.  The Lottery, however, had other ideas.

When I first heard the news I couldn’t believe it,” Kevin told officials.  “My wife and I will have the experience of a lifetime.  I guess it was just meant to be.”  As the winner of the much sought-after prize – the away trip with the team, Kevin and a guest fly with the Ravens to Pittsburgh, stay at the team hotel and enjoy the game from great seats. 

Kevin was the first lucky Ravens Cash Fantasy player to win the away trip. Geri Arnold from Lexington Park won this coveted prize in the October 5th drawing. Eight others will also be chosen to travel with the team to see the Ravens take on Pittsburgh.

Ravens Cash Fantasy players are encouraged to keep registering their EXTRA YARDS in the ticket’s Internet promotion.  Prizes such as season tickets for life, VIP training camp experiences, premium game seats, game worn jerseys and much more remain to be won.
