How your pet could be a winner of Washington’s Lottery

Jul 2, 2013, 8:59 AM | Updated: 10:57 am

You already post pictures of your dog or cat on Facebook. You might as well submit those pics to the Washington Lottery.

Later this year, the Washington Lottery is going to put three lucky dogs and three lucky cats on a special series of scratch tickets.

“We’re asking people to submit their photos of their cats or their dogs, and then six winning pets will be featured on a new scratch ticket,” says the lottery’s Arlen Harris.

According to Harris, the public will vote on their favorite pictures, and the top six will be featured.

Dogs and cats only.

No suggestive or offensive poses, please.
