History of the New Jersey Lottery

The New Jersey Lottery has been making dreams come true for lucky winners since its first ticket was sold on December 16th, 1970. In March 1971, a lucky couple from West Caldwell won the first Millionaire drawing. In May 1999, the New Jersey Lottery joined The Big Game, a multi-state lottery which later became Mega Millions, and began selling Powerball tickets in 2010.

Proceeds from ticket sales directly benefit educational institutions, small businesses, veterans' services and other valuable initiatives. Since the inception of the New Jersey Lottery, over $22 billion has been allocated for worthy causes throughout the Garden State. When you play games like Pick 6, Mega Millions and Powerball, everyone in New Jersey is a winner!

Buying Tickets

New Jersey residents can buy lottery tickets from official retailers across the state. Most businesses will have signs indicating that tickets can be purchased in-store.

If you live in another State or overseas and would like to buy New Jersey Lottery tickets, then you will need to travel to New Jersey and buy tickets from an authorized retailer. Why not take it as an opportunity to visit Atlantic City as well?
