NJ Lottery Celebrates 50th Anniversary

On March 2, the New Jersey Lottery celebrated its first half-century by releasing its biggest instant game ever: the Super 50 Scratch-Off.

At a full 8 inches wide and 12 inches tall, the new game is more than double the size of any prior scratch-off ticket in the state. It’s so big, the game is housed in special “double-wide” bin available at most of the state’s 7,000 lottery retailers.

“Jersey Lottery players love Scratch-Offs, and this is the ultimate big game,” said James Carey, lottery executive director. “It offers players an incredible 50 chances to win, making it the perfect way to celebrate 50 years of the New Jersey Lottery.”

The oversized ticket sells for $10 and has five top prizes of $500,000.
