NASHVILLE, Tenn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 4, 2003--Donny Michael, CEO MEI Gigtours has announced its alignment with State Lotteries across the nation. With this new arrangement, artists from all music genres could find their likeness on a scratch ticket and consumers get the chance to win the Grand Prize of a Gigtours ALL ACCESS Platinum Tour with that artist.

Grand-prize winners will be awarded an all-inclusive 5-day/4-night excursion traveling in their very own luxury entertainer tour bus. The Gigtours ALL ACCESS Platinum Tour will take winners on the road shadowing nationally recognized recording artists and their caravans providing winners a true-to-life experience of a typical day in the life of an artist on tour. The travel itinerary and agenda follows the very schedule of the artist from departure - to arrival, from unloading the gear - to sound check, from show time - to reloading the gear and heading for the next gig several hundred miles away.
