I LIVED THE FANTASY - CHRIS HESS

Maryland Lottery / 1:02PM, December 30, 2009
My wife and I had a great time even though the trip seemed to go by very quickly. We met quite a few players in the lobby of the hotel and got some autographs. The highlight of my trip was meeting Ed Reed in the elevator and getting my picture with him as he was exiting to go to his room at night.
 
My wife and I made new friends with the lottery winners and hope to stay in touch with them. Also it must be a small world, because a person that I have not seen in 10 years happens to work for the Ravens and I saw him on the plane before we left. We went out to dinner with him and he showed us the town.
 
I really felt important with the police escorts, especially when we went to the stadium. Since it was just our bus, all the Pittsburgh fans were wondering who was in that bus.
 
All in all this was a fabulous trip and I would like to thank the Maryland Lottery and the Baltimore Ravens for a wonderful time.

Nicole and I had a great time, although it was a tough loss and a quiet plane ride home.

With just a 33 min air time trip from BWI to Pittsburgh, we were served a choice of beef tenderloin or sea bass and crab cakes. Our arrival at the hotel began with a meeting with Ray Rice. He was gracious enough to give everyone a photo opportunity and an autographed Ravens hat.

The rest of the evening was ours. Nicole and I enjoyed dinner with some of the other Lottery winners. And we ran into Ozzie Newsome (who always has a smile on his face) and Mark Clayton.

The next morning I had a great time cheering on the players as they left the hotel on their way to the stadium and got some great shots of some of the players. When asked by my local newspaper what one player I wanted to meet first, I replied Coach Harbaugh, who has done a great job. I was so excited when I turned around to see him walk off the elevator. He took time for autographs and photos, but for me the hand shake and an opportunity to wish the coach good luck on the game made my entire trip.

I really want to thank the Lottery for such a once in a lifetime opportunity. The Baltimore Ravens representative was also wonderful. We met some wonderful people - the other Lottery winners - and have talked of remaining friends, keeping in touch and reuniting at another Ravens game.

Wow!!!!  I was so excited when I received the phone call from Gail at the Maryland Lottery telling me I had won the skybox tickets to the best game of the season, Ravens vs. Steelers.

My fiancee Jesse and I went to the game and had a great time. From tailgating to the great skybox seats, food and especially the people. Buddy Roogow was one of a kind. He was so nice and caring. We sure are going to miss him.  And to top it all off the Ravens won in overtime, 20-17.

It was an all around wonderful time and all thanks to the Maryland Lottery. I now believe the saying, "You gotta play to win." Maryland Lottery - Let Yourself Play. Thank you Maryland Lottery and Go Ravens!

Wow, we couldn’t believe it! We won tickets to see the RAVENS!!! The anticipation itself was overwhelming. We won two tickets to see Ravens vs. Colts. My awesome finance’ Mike insisted that myself and our son Eric attend the game. This would be our first time to see the Ravens at M&T Bank Stadium, in fact it was our first NFL game ever!

We were in awe, to see such an incredible display of Ravens Pride throughout all of Baltimore up close and personal. The purple pride was everywhere, from the sidewalks downtown, to the babies in strollers, to the residents sitting on their stoops in full Raven’s gear waiting for game time.

To see my son’s eyes as we entered through the doors to reach our seats was a sight I will not soon forget. His jaw dropped and he was as wide-eyed as I have ever seen him. We were just trying to take the awesome experience all in.
 
The club seats were incredible. As the players started on to the field you could feel the excitement, it was as if someone turned up the volume on the entire city of Baltimore! My son could not wait to see his favorite player, #52 Ray Lewis, run or should I say dance, onto the field (we love it). The moment had arrived; you knew it was Ray because the stadium went crazy, as did Eric. Simply incredible!!!

The entire day was just perfect, we cannot thank the Maryland Lottery enough!!! This is a day that my son will remember forever.

Again, thanks so much for giving myself and my son the opportunity to enjoy our first Ravens game TOGETHER!!

IT WAS GREAT! We had the best time. The food was exceptional and so was the view. We got to meet a lot of good people that were in the skybox with us.  And a Ravens win (Ravens 20, Steelers 17) topped off the night! Thanks.

My son and I had a terrific time at the game.  We tailgated with friends, the weather was great and the best thing about the day was that the Ravens won (30-7 vs. Broncos).  I never thought in a million years I was going to win the tickets, but I did and the club seats were awesome!
 
GO RAVENS!

Ravens Cash Fantasy has been a wonderful experience for my wife and I. Winning the 2009 season tickets was a total surprise because I have never won anything like this before.
 
The 2009 season tickets drawing was held on September 4th. My wife reminded me on September 3rd that we needed to enter in our yards for the drawing. So at about 6:00 pm on the 3rd I entered in the 200 yards for the tickets which had about 3,400 entries if I recall correctly.
 
The morning of September 4th I was at work when I got a call from my wife at 10:00 am. She told me that I had won the tickets. I couldn't believe it. I thought she was playing a joke on me, but while we were talking the house phone rang and it was the Maryland Lottery again needing additional information. That's when it really hit me that I had won!

The experience has been awesome. Everyone at the Lottery has been great to us.  They invited us to attend the Ravens kick-off at Market Place, where we were interviewed by WBAL about our experience and got to meet several players and the cheerleaders.
 
 
 
Also, let me tell you, the seats are fantastic.  They are located in the upper deck at the 50-yard line of section 553, row 6 so we have a great site line for the entire field. Each game has been very enjoyable and exciting.
 
Thank you Maryland Lottery and the Baltimore Ravens for coming up with such a fun scratch-off game with great prizes.

When I won the tickets I was completely surprised and thought one of my friends was pulling a prank on me!  Once I found out that I really did win and my name was on the website I was in complete amazement and really excited.  I have only been in the club level one previous time and I remember how sweet it was. 
 
 
On game day I tailgated under I-395 with neighbors, most of which are Ravens fans and two of which are Bengals fans.  Needless to say it was a great time tailgating and talking smack to the Bengals fans! The in-game experience was AWESOME.  The view from our seats was great and the excitement level was even better.  I really enjoyed my game experience even though the Ravens did not win.
 
 
I love playing the Ravens Cash Fantasy scratch-off’s. It isn’t often you have the chance to turn $5 into $1,000,000 or club level tickets to a Ravens game! I usually buy my tickets from BJ’s Wholesale Club in Baltimore.  The girls who usually cash my winning tickets were very excited for me and they all wanted to come along!!! All in all it was a great experience at the game and the Ravens Cash Fantasy scratch-off is the way to go.
