Do you play the lottery? The New Jersey Lottery is something a lot of Garden State residents enjoy. Whether it's grabbing a Scratch-Off while getting gas or picking up a Powerball or Mega Millions ticket, plenty of people like taking a chance.

There isn't an exact number of how many people play each year, but the lottery is by far the most popular form of gambling in New Jersey, with millions of tickets sold across the state every year.

According to Patch,"In a strange quirk of fate, 18 of these million-dollar tickets were sold on the same day: the Powerball drawing on April 29. Three of those winning tickets were still unclaimed as of June, lottery officials reported."

Personally, I enjoy plying the instant New Jersey Lottery games. They have different games each month that you can play and they have holiday themed games that are fun for the holidays. Of course its always better when you win, but for me that hasn't happed all that often, but like they say "you gotta be in it, to win it!"

So check those tickets and see if you are an unexpected winner with New Jersey Lottery.
