New From CA Lottery: Scratch and Taste Your Way to Ultimate Foodie Experience in Napa!

From California State Lottery:

Ask any serious foodie and they’ll tell you exactly what the Napa Valley’s The French Laundry is all about. Nope, it’s not a fancy Laundromat. The French Laundry is considered one of the top 50 gourmet restaurants in the world, and now California Lottery players have a chance to taste what it’s all about.

“California is home to the Farm-to-Fork foodie movement, and what better way to celebrate that than to eat at one of the world’s best restaurants right in our state,” said Russ Lopez, Deputy Director of Corporate Communications for the California Lottery. “We have wonderful restaurants right here in California, along with some of the best high-end resorts. If you love food and relaxation, then buy a ticket, take a chance and join the ultimate ‘foodie’ club!”

This dining event for two starts off with a bottle of champagne, and then enjoy an amazing 18-course tasting menu paired with wines selected by the restaurant’s Sommeliers. As part of the Black Card Experience, you will also be sent home with a parting gift!

If that isn’t enough to make you run out and buy an Emerald 10’s Scratchers ticket, then listen up.

This incredible promotion also includes a two-night stay with a spa treatment for two at the beautiful Napa Valley Lodge in Yountville! While the Lodge is only about two blocks away from the restaurant, if you choose, you can be picked up by a car service.

The California Lottery reminds our players to please play responsibly and remember, it’s never OK to play if you’re under 18 years old.
