Primetime TV Media Inclusion

Georgia Lottery was the title sponsor to our CBS Primetime special.

The Results Were Amazing

After investing to develop the “Dinners On Us” brand on Atlanta Eats over the past 4 years, it is now a staple feature of the weekly TV show. In fact, it’s a common occurrence for Steak to get stopped in restaurants asking if he is there with the GA Lottery and buying everyone dinner!
In addition, the “Dinners On Us” program has been leveraged through social contesting and live events. Just recently, Atlanta Eats created a weekly #DinnersOnUs Instagram contest along with a finale event which effectively more than doubled @GALottery Instagram account during the 9 week campaign.
