Best Travel Sweepstakes in Pittsburgh, PA: 2026 Local Guide

Pittsburgh travelers can enter three travel sweepstakes in fall 2026: two Allegiant flyaways usable from Pittsburgh International Airport and the Pennsylvania Lottery GAME SHOW EXPERIENCE second-chance drawing. A sweepstakes is a prize drawing where entry gives a chance to win rather than an assured benefit. The Allegiant drawings cover sports-trip flyaways with airfare support, while the Lottery drawing covers Los Angeles Game Show Experience trips.

Each has its own entry site, deadline, and eligibility check.

Which flyaways fit a Pittsburgh trip?

Allegiant Travel Company is running the Colts Touchdown Town Flyaway Sweepstakes for four winners of two game tickets for the Jan. 10, 2027 Colts-Jaguars game plus Allegiant airfare through $500 vouchers, with entry closing Nov. 30, 2026, according to the Colts flyaway details.

Allegiant Travel Company is also running the Notre Dame Gameday Flyaway Sweepstakes for U.S. residents with no purchase necessary, with entries accepted until Oct. 7, 2026, according to the Notre Dame flyaway details.

Pittsburgh use is practical because Allegiant operates from Pittsburgh International Airport. The carrier marked 10 years serving PIT in February 2026 with 14 nonstop destinations, according to the airport partnership report. Travelers should still check route dates and voucher terms before planning around a win.

How does the Lottery trip drawing work?

The Pennsylvania Lottery GAME SHOW EXPERIENCE Scratch-Off second-chance drawing lets VIP Players Club members submit non-winning tickets for one of 47 trip-prize packages, with entries due by 11:59:59 p.m. ET Jan. 14, 2027, according to the Scratch-Off prize page.

A second-chance drawing means a non-winning ticket can be entered separately for another prize drawing. The wider promotion includes 50 Los Angeles Game Show Experience trips in total, with 47 from second chance and 3 from an online $50-play drawing. It is open to eligible Pennsylvania players.

Pittsburgh residents qualify through Pennsylvania eligibility, not through a city-only entry.

What does entry cost and what limits apply?

No purchase is necessary for the Allegiant Notre Dame drawing, which is different from a free trip. No purchase necessary means entry is allowed without buying airfare or another product. A chance to win still leaves travel extras, scheduling limits, and tax responsibility with the winner.

Standard limits across these drawings include odds based on the number of eligible entries received. Winners also remain subject to eligibility checks and responsibility for taxes or unspecified travel costs. Readers should read the sponsor rules linked from each entry page for age, residency, and prize-transfer terms.

How do you enter before each deadline?

A Pittsburgh resident can enter all three online without travel to enter. Use the Allegiant web forms for the two flyaways and the PA Lottery VIP Players Club website or app for the Lottery drawing. Entry is limited to one entry per person where stated.
