They say money can’t buy happiness. They have never been a Royals fan sitting in the dugout suite at Kauffman Stadium.
Last July, the Kansas Lottery announced its first eight winners of a second-chance drawing for the dugout suite experience. I was one of eight lucky winners to catch the Sept. 3 game against Detroit from the suite.
The suite experience was the second part of the lottery’s $5 Kansas City Royals tickets sold throughout summer. More than 23,000 non-winning tickets were registered online for the second-chance drawing. I had entered around 30 tickets into the drawing because let’s be clear: I could never afford to purchase a dugout suite ticket.
