The first thing Michael J. Fos did when he found out he won the Louisiana Lottery’s second SAINTS second-chance drawing was tell his family. “Both my boys said you better be taking us, not anybody else,” he said.

Fos’s nonwinning SAINTS scratch-off was selected from more than 19,500 second-chance drawing entries to win the 2014 Saints Deluxe Fan Experience including four Plaza Club Sideline tickets to the Nov. 9 game against San Francisco, pregame field passes, four official Saints jerseys, hotel accommodations, limousine transportation to the game and $500 spending cash.

The 44-year-old winner from Arabi did as he was told and brought his wife and two sons to the game and enjoyed the pregame festivities. “Being on the field is something unique that you don’t get to see,” Fos said.

Also during the game’s second second-chance drawing, nine finalists won official autographed Saints merchandise. Christina LaFountain of St. Amant, Robert William Taylor of Lafayette and Kristen Cassidy of Jennings each won an autographed jersey. Malinda S. Dupont of Pollock, Jennifer Lemons of St. Amant and JoAnn Pack of Baton Rouge each won an autographed helmet. David Brown of Baton Rouge, Yvonne Baker of Lafayette and Alan Finkelstein of Meraux won an autographed football.

The Lottery’s 2014 SAINTS scratch-off game includes three scenes with the team’s iconic fleur-de-lis logo emblazoned in shiny gold metallic ink with top prizes of $100,000 plus the opportunity to enter nonwinning tickets into a series of second-chance drawings to win unique game-day prize experiences or official autographed Saints merchandise.

“We upped our game with this year’s experience prizes that include exclusive access to areas of the Mercedes-Benz Superdome and game activities usually off-limits to fans,” explained Lottery President Rose Hudson. “When players don’t win an instant prize on SAINTS, they can use it to enter their favorite second-chance drawing to win a one-of-a-kind experience guaranteed to make this Saints season one to remember!”

From now until Nov.17, players can enter their nonwinning tickets into the game’s third second-chance drawing to be eligible to win the 2014 Saints Behind the Scenes Experience, including a tour of the press box for the winner and three guests plus access to the post-game press conference with players and coaches after the Saints take on Carolina Dec. 7.  The package also includes tickets to the game, pregame field passes, a parking pass, one night hotel accommodation (two rooms) and $500 spending cash.

To enter the second-chance drawings, players should complete the information on the back of nonwinning $5 SAINTS scratch-off tickets and mail one ticket per envelope (no larger than 4.5" by 9.5") to the drawing address printed on the back of the ticket. Players can enter as many times as they wish, but each entry should be mailed in a separate envelope.
