What would you do with a little unexpected bonus cash? I can think of plenty of things ranging from practical ideas like college savings to frivolous ones like a spontaneous vacation in the Caribbean. We work hard for our money and we track our income and spending religiously, so it would be nice to have a little fun do-whatever-you-want cash to spend and enjoy.
My husband always comes home with scratch off tickets. Since we met I have found myself buying them more and more. The idea of winning a lotto prize is exciting so I will occasionally pick up one or two during a grocery shopping trip. Normally we have to wait until we get home and find a coin to scratch and reveal what’s beneath the surface and find out if we’ve won, but on a recent trip to Shoprite, we discovered the newly launched New Jersey Lottery Fast Play games.
These new lotto games are easy to play and win. The new quick play styles are printed right from the lottery terminal in any brick and mortar stores that sell New Jersey Lottery tickets. We like that there is no waiting required or numbers to pick with with traditional lottery games, and no need to scratch to see if you’re a winner. These are basically scratch-off tickets without the scratch-off component.
There are multiple themes and price points on the new Fast Play tickets, with costs ranging from $1 – $10 per ticket. The $10 games were not yet available when we played; those will be coming soon. We did however purchase one of each of the available Fast Play tickets to experience the new games for ourselves.
Fast Cash is only $1 but you could win up to $500. The odds are 1 in 4 to win.
Red Hot Numbers is also $1 and you might win up to $1,000. The odds of winning is 1 in 3.9.
Slots of Fun is $2 with a grand prize up to $5,000 with odds of winning at 1 in 3.8.
Bling Bling Bucks will cost you $5 and you can win up to $25,000. The odds of winning are 1 in 3.2.
Unfortunately, we were not winners this time around, but we will be playing again soon and crossing our fingers for a winning ticket next time. With these odds, we have to try again!
Fast Play games will be refreshed and changed every few months, so we will be on the lookout for a new favorite game to play. They feature increased odds of winning and are quick and easy.
To purchase a Fast Play ticket at your New Jersey Lottery retailer, just ask for Fast Play, name your game, and then collect prizes quickly. For more information visit New Jersey Lottery.
My son in law is super lucky. He gets a feeling buys a ticket and always wins. Last week he won a thousand dollars.
Oh how I would love to win even a couple thousand dollars.
My husband and I just recently talked about setting aside around $20-$40 per month to use for the lottery. We both enjoy playing and will do it occasionally… we just thought that budgeting it in would make us feel better about it!
Better luck next time. Winning is always so much fun.
I enjoy getting scratch tickets every Friday. It is always fun to see if you win. They make a great gift.
Scratch tickets are always fun. I like to give them with birthday cards. I like to buy one when i fill the car up.
Those odds aren’t bad at all. It would be fun to try my luck from time to time.
These games sound like so much fun. I hope you win big!
I know so many people who buy scratch off tickets. They don’t expect to win but the suspense is fun!
I’ll be in NJ next month. I will be sure to play while I’m there.
