The New Jersey Lottery offers many great games and prizes.

If you like playing scratch-off games, it stands to reason that you want to find the games with the most prizes remaining.  This way, you improve your chances of winning.

Some people scoff at the notion of playing the lottery.  They say you're just throwing your money away.

However, someone has to win.  So why not you?

Real Winners

Do you realize that just recently, someone in North Wildwood played the twenty-dollar, Diamond Spectacular scratch-off game, and they won a million dollars?

They bought their ticket at Wawa on Spruce Ave, last month.  Someone else playing the same game won a million in Deptford.

I'll bet that most people who win big prizes like that probably bought the ticket impulsively.  They went for coffee and decided while waiting in line to buy a ticket.

Doesn't it seem like that's how it goes?

What to do When You Win

If you are lucky enough to win a million in the lottery, this is what you need to know.

Immediately sign the back of your ticket.

If your prize is over $599.99, you must file a claim with the NJ Lottery.

Winners of the lottery may choose to remain anonymous, you will be required to provide the lottery with your legal ID.

They need your identification for tax purposes.  This is required by law.

If you think you have a winning ticket, but it is damaged, don't throw it away.

File a claim, and explain the issue.
