What’s a holiday season without some cheer from NJ Lottery in the form of festive scratch off tickets?
In my family, NJ Lottery Holiday Scratch Offs were a key component to our holiday gifting amongst our nearest and dearest.
We spent many a Christmas Eve over the years with my Aunt Fe and her family, enjoying a traditional Italian-American Feast of the Seven Fishes.
Right about after the baccala, fried shrimp and linguine with calamari were cleared from the dinner table, our families would retreat into Aunt Fe’s cozy living room and find a place around her coffee table for the gift exchange.
But instead of wrapping paper and tissue paper being tossed around in a frenzy…there was instead a harmonious buzz of little coins feverishly scratching away at NJ Holiday Instant Games and the occasional squeal of delight when we had a winner!
This is exactly what each family member would bring on Christmas Eve to exchange with one another: 5, $1 holiday scratch offs – it was so much fun!
Exchanging NJ Lotto Holiday Scratch Offs amongst our families was the PERFECT present because it made gift giving simple and stress free, and allowed for us to not only have a hands-on activity as part of the fun, but the added bonus of walking away with a little holiday cash!
And it didn’t stop at Christmas Eve. My mom was well known for her affinity toward used NJ Lottery Scratch Offs as part of decorative holiday place settings, as stocking stuffers and little extra-somethings for teachers, neighbors and friends.
This year, New Jersey Lottery has four Holiday themed Instant Games available for the Holiday season. The tickets come in different themes and different price points ($1 Holiday Cheer, $2 Holiday Luck Times 10, $5 Holiday Sparkle, and $10 Season’s Gold). These Holiday games make for the perfect gift, stocking stuffer, party favor, etc. for anyone and everyone on your list over the age of 18. And top prizes on the Holiday games range from $2 to $1,000,000.
Tickets are available at any brick and mortar Lottery retailer (I’ve had much luck at my local Krauzer’s store while my husband once won $500 on a NJ Lottery Scratch off from an area liquor store!)
For those who are crafty, here’s a fun DIY ornament that makes for a festive way of presenting NJ Lotto Holiday Scratch Offs:

Thanks Lisa for this, those Christmas times are memories that I cherish and I continue to cherish you and your entire family, love you, aunt felice navidad, sending hugs xxxxooooo
I had the pleasure of enjoying dinner on Christmas Eve and the fun began when the scratching started. Waiting to hear,” I have a winner”, was the expectation and fun.
Finding a shiny penny attached to our tickets on Christmas Day Dinner was the best, we didn’t have to wait to see if we won. Memories that last forever. xoxo
