Instant Game Winning Locations Added to the

New Jersey Lottery Website

TRENTON, NJ – (June 18, 2012) - The New Jersey Lottery has added a new section called Lucky Locations to its already information-rich website (NJLottery.net). The Instant Game Section now provides visitors with the name and complete address of the retail locations where winning top tier instant game tickets were sold and it provides the prize amount for each of the winning tickets. “The New Jersey Lottery makes every effort to keep its players informed,” says Carole Hedinger, Executive Director. “Our customers like to know where the winning tickets are purchased and we are pleased to provide them with that information in an accessible format.”

The Lucky Locations information can be found by clicking on the Instant Game tab from the home page on the NJLottery.net website. All the Lottery’s current instant games are pictured on the page and when one clicks on the image or text associated with a game a detailed description of how to play the game, individual game odds, prize amounts and now a listing of where the winning top tier tickets have been sold will appear. There are thousands of New Jersey Lottery instant game winners therefore the website will only include the top tier prizes for each game.

The New Jersey Lottery offers players a wide array of instant games and prizes. In Fiscal Year 2011 the Lottery paid out winnings of $904 million to players. There are more than 75 different instant games to choose from with ticket prices from $1 up to $10. Cash prize payouts start at $2 and range all the way up to $1 million. Always keeping it fresh and exciting for players, the New Jersey Lottery releases new instant games every two weeks.
