California Lottery Revs-up With Harley-Davidson Sportster; Play the Scratchers Win A Motorcycle

    SACRAMENTO, Calif.--April 3, 2001--Roar into town on a new Harley-Davidson Sportster 1200 motorcycle. Feel the freedom of riding with the wind on your brand new Harley-Davidson Sportster bike on the California coast. "The California Lottery's unique opportunity with Harley-Davidson is bound to generate a lot of excitement," said Lottery Director, Joan Wilson. "Californians have a chance to win an all-American icon, a Harley-Davidson Sportster motorcycle by playing the latest Harley-Davidson Scratchers game." An animated version of the Harley-Davidson Scratchers is available to play for fun on the Lottery's web site at www.calottery.com.
    The Harley-Davidson Sporster 1200 is the bike of choice for first-time Harley owners and now Californians have a chance at winning that motorcycle by scratching the new lottery Scratchers game and matching any of "YOUR NUMBERS" to either "HARLEY NUMBER." If the prize shown is a motorcycle symbol, the player wins a motorcycle instantly. Eight motorcyles will be won instantly by uncovering the motorcycle symbol. Players who uncover a money bag symbol can double their prize and win up to $25,000. Winning motorcycle tickets or cash prizes over $599 must pick-up a Winner Claim Form from a local retailer or go to a local Lottery District Office.
    Players will also get a second-chance at winning a motorcycle or some of the official Harley-Davidson gear. If any of "YOUR NUMBERS" match the "HARLEY NUMBERS" and the prize won is "ENTRY," players can enter one of four drawings for a Harley-Davidson Sportster 1200 custom motorcyle or official Harley-Davidson gear. Contestants for the second chance drawing must mail their winning tickets with a claim form to California Lottery, P.O. Box 94207-2130, Sacramento, CA 94207-2130.
    Second chance players can win a Harley-Davidson Sportster 1200 Custom motorcycle, a leather jacket or a Harley-Davidson package that includes a hub cap duffel bag, blanket, T-shirt and a leather baseball cap. Winners of motorycles won in the drawings will be announced on "The Big Spin" Show and they will be contacted via certified mail with information on how to claim their prize. Winners of Harley-Davidson gear will also be notified in writing.
