If You Don’t Win Billions Playing the Mega Millions, Trade Your Losing Tickets in for Free Donuts in Colorado

Aug 3, 2023, 5:15 PM

Most of us in Colorado won’t be winning tomorrow’s BILLION-dollar plus Mega Millions drawing, sorry, that’s just math.  But don’t throw that ticket out just yet.

You can get a free donut at Colorado Krispy Kreme locations if you show up with ANY lottery ticket.

They put out a press release.  Quote, “Tuesday’s $1 billion lottery drawing reminds us that we definitely hit the lottery when it comes to our fans.  So this week, we want them ALL to win some ‘dough’.”

You can show up with a lottery ticket, and get a free Original Glazed Doughnut.  It’s one per customer while supplies last.

You don’t have to give them the ticket, just show it to them.  So you could use the one you bought for tonight’s drawing, or that old Powerball ticket that’s still floating around in your car. 

In theory, if someone wins the billion dollars, they could also show up with THAT ticket and get a donut…  It might just come off as a little greedy.
