  with ordering and delivery details. Instant ticket inventory/ordering calls begin July 1.

  The goal is to make the transition as smooth as possible.

   • Your current call day and time
   • The 1-800-686-4208 line for calling in any instant ticket orders
   • Order hours of 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday
   • Next day delivery and the delivery confirmation process
