New ticket designs revealed ahead of statewide availability, alongside exclusive VIP Club opportunities
New Jersey Lottery Jersey Legend: Jon Bon Jovi Scratch-Offs
TRENTON, N.J., Sept. 17, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The New Jersey Lottery today officially unveiled its new Jersey Legend: Jon Bon Jovi Scratch-Offs, giving fans a new way to celebrate the New Jersey Legend and rock icon across three iconic ticket designs. The $5 tickets give players 18 and older the chance to win cash prizes up to $200,000, with more than $12.9 million available in total prizes and overall odds of winning 1 in 4.39.
Launching statewide on October 5, the three Jersey Legend: Jon Bon Jovi Scratch-Offs designs feature vibrant imagery of Jon Bon Jovi across memorable moments from his on-stage career. Players can scratch the play area to reveal the game symbols, with a special “GUITAR” symbol awarding five times the prize shown for that symbol.
“When we announced our partnership with Jon Bon Jovi last month, we promised players there was much more to come from this collaboration. Today, we’re excited to give fans their first look at the tickets unlocking a new fan experience and more ways to win,” said Jim Carey, Executive Director of the New Jersey Lottery. “Across three unique Scratch-Offs designs, special events, and VIP Club opportunities, we’re thrilled to give players more ways to celebrate the music, award-winning career, and New Jersey roots of a Garden State legend.”
The ticket reveal marks the next chapter of the New Jersey Lottery’s partnership with Jon Bon Jovi, extending the celebration beyond the Scratch-Offs with new opportunities for local fans and players to get involved. New Jersey Lottery players 18 and older will have the chance to get even closer to the Jersey legend through an exclusive VIP Club sweepstakes offering the opportunity to win personally autographed merchandise in October, coinciding with the official ticket launch.
To enter the contest, players must be New Jersey Lottery VIP Club members and opted in to receive promotional emails. Eligible members will receive an email later this month with a link to enter, while players who are not yet members can join the VIP Club on njlottery.com and opt in to receive promotional emails.
“I will always call New Jersey home, so I’m happy to join the New Jersey Lottery in celebrating the place that holds so many of my favorite personal and career memories,” said Jon Bon Jovi.
The Jersey Legend: Jon Bon Jovi Scratch-Offs will officially launch on October 5 and will be available at New Jersey Lottery retailers across the state. For more information on the new Scratch-Offs, upcoming events, and VIP Club initiatives, visit www.njlottery.com.
