Two Cents is an exclusive online community comprised of people from Colorado that are willing to give their opinions about a variety of topics and share them with the Colorado Lottery. As technology advances, the Lottery needs to stay relevant with players of all ages and demographics so it enlists the support of Coloradans, just like you.

On average, our surveys are approximately 10-15 minutes; however, some can be as short as 5 minutes and others can be longer than 15 minutes. All surveys and activities are completely voluntary and we let you know the approximate length of the survey in the invitation so you can plan accordingly. Surveys can be stopped and restarted later from where you left off if you are unable to complete it in one sitting.
