About the New Jersey Lottery
New Jersey lottery tickets first went on sale in 1970. The lottery began with weekly jackpot games and has since expanded significantly over the decades, adding various game formats, including daily draws and instant games, to provide diverse options for players.
New Jersey joined multi-state lottery games in the late 1990s and 2010s, participating in cooperative lottery initiatives that evolved into major national games.
Profits from New Jersey Lottery ticket sales are dedicated to a specific purpose: supporting retirement funds for the state's public employees. This allocation ensures that lottery revenue contributes to the financial security of teachers, police officers, firefighters, and other public workers throughout the state.
