The National Medal of Honor Museum, located at 1861 AT&T Way in Arlington, is dedicated to preserving the stories and values of the Medal of Honor recipients. The museum will provide an interactive experience, offering visitors a deeper understanding of the sacrifice, patriotism, and courage of U.S. military service members.
Chris Cassidy, President and CEO of the National Medal of Honor Museum Foundation, emphasized the significance of this collaboration:
“From the beginning, our mission has been to inspire and uplift Americans with the stories and values of the Medal of Honor. We’re proud to continue our partnership with the Texas Lottery to keep these stories accessible for current and future generations.”
Supporting Texas Veterans and Military Families
The proceeds from $30,000 Cash will directly support the Texas Veterans Commission’s Fund for Veterans’ Assistance. This fund provides essential services such as healthcare, housing assistance, and employment programs for veterans and their families.
Ryan Mindell, Executive Director of the Texas Lottery, highlighted the long-standing commitment to supporting veterans through lottery-funded initiatives:
“The Texas Lottery is proud to generate vital funds to benefit Texas veterans and their families. For over 15 years, our veterans-themed scratch ticket games have provided meaningful contributions to the Fund for Veterans’ Assistance, and the launch of $30,000 Cash continues that important commitment.”
Additionally, the Texas Lottery is helping cover up to 75% of admission costs for Texas schools visiting the museum. Through the museum’s Texas Military Program, active-duty service members from Texas will also receive free admission, ensuring greater accessibility to this historic landmark.
Starting March 17, Texans can purchase $30,000 Cash scratch tickets at participating lottery retailers across the state. Whether players win or not, their participation contributes to a cause that directly impacts those who have served the country.
