New Jersey Lottery Scratch-Offs Make Great Gifts This Holiday Season!

It’s hard to believe, but Christmas is less than two weeks away! Have you finished shopping for everyone on your list? This year has been particularly challenging, as supply chain disruptions are leaving gifters everywhere with nothing to wrap. But not to worry, because the New Jersey Lottery is here to save the day, with four Holiday Scratch-Offs ($1, $2, $5, and $10 tickets) that are sure to put a smile on anyone’s face.. and possibly a little extra cash in their pocket.

Forget about fighting the crowds at the malls or playing delivery roulette and hoping that your gifts arrive in time. New Jersey Lottery’s Holiday Scratch-Offs makes gift giving simple and stress-free, as they’re available at any brick and mortar Lottery retailer, like your local Wawa, Quick Check, 7-Eleven, or neighborhood liquor store. Here in New Jersey, you pass one of these stores every few miles, so you don’t even have to go out of your way to find them. It’s a great, stress-free way to knock out your holiday shopping in record time.

While some people might argue that lottery tickets are impersonal, I’ve always had a big smile on my face when opening a card from a friend or loved one and seeing lottery tickets in there. There’s just something exciting about scratching off that lucky ticket of yours and dreaming about what you would do if you won that grand prize. Last year I won $50 on a $10 Scratch-Off that a co-worker gave me, and I was super stoked about my big win. I’ve never gotten that type of adrenaline rush from a pair of gloves or a scarf, that’s for sure.

That’s the beauty of these Holiday Scratch-Offs – They offer the wonder of a wrapped gift, the entertainment of a game experience and the potential for a large cash payout! Seriously, there is some big money up for grabs with these Holiday Scratch-Offs. The $1 ticket has a top prize of $500, the $2 ticket has a top prize of $20,000, the $5 ticket has a top prize of $200,000, and the $10 ticket is giving out over $23 million in prizes. With money like this up for grabs, you might just want to pick up a few extra tickets for yourself.

Best of all, if you’re wrapping-challenged like me, you’ll appreciate the fact that you can stick these tickets in a holiday card and you’re good to go, no complicated wrapping required. Sure, if you want to get all fancy, you can gift your Holiday Scratch-Offs in a festive mug with some hot chocolate mix or do something else creative. But I prefer to just keep it simple. Plus, if you are mailing this gift to someone, you can avoid the post office (which is crazy busy this time of year) and simply drop it in a mailbox.

These Holiday Scratch-Offs are fun and festive, and they are perfect for any occasion – Secret Santas, stocking stuffers, family/office parties, and holiday gestures for your mailman, barista, neighbors, etc. I usually buy a whole bunch of these tickets when they first come out, because these tickets often sell out quickly, and I’m able to take care of most of my holiday obligations in one fell swoop, no fuss no muss.

What’s more, if your ticket isn’t a big winner, all hope is not lost, as you’re still eligible to take part in the Million Dollar Replay, which allows you to enter non-winning tickets into quarterly second chance drawings for a chance to win a $250 prize and entry into the yearly Grand Prize Drawing for a chance to win one of fifteen prizes ranging from $10,000 up to $1,000,000. It’s pretty great that even if you don’t win initially, you’ve still got more chances to win!

Needless to say, if you haven’t finished your holiday shopping just yet, don’t risk it ordering a gift from an online retailer, as you might not receive it on time with all of the delays going on right now. And trust me, there’s nothing worse than that look of disappointment on Christmas morning when you tell your loved ones that their gifts didn’t arrive on time.

So what are you waiting for, head over to your local Lottery retailer and finish up your holiday shopping with the quickness. These festive New Jersey Holiday Scratch-Offs make gift giving simple and stress-free, and you can rest assured that they won’t be re-gifted to someone else.

This year, give them a treat you know they’ll love, with NJ Lottery Holiday Scratch-Offs feature top prizes up to $200,000. What could it be, just scratch and see!
