Father's Day is around the corner, and if your dad is a fan of the lottery, you can get him a gift he'll truly enjoy. Maybe he'll even win big.

Below are six ideas for Father's Day gifts for the dads who love the lottery.

A Mega Millions ticket, or tickets

The Mega Millions jackpot is up to $264 million. If no one claims the prize, it'll be even higher by Father's Day. Since April, new rules have increased the odds of winning any Mega Millions prize from 1 in 24 to 1 in 23. Chances of winning the jackpot have increased from 1 in 302,575,350 to 1 in 290,472,336. Buy one, or buy several for dad. You never know. It could wind up being the most important gift dad has ever received.

“How to Win the Lottery with the Law of Attraction” by Eddie Coronado

If your dad enjoys the lottery and a good book, a great gift option is “How to Win the Lottery with the Law of Attraction” by teacher and author Eddie Coronado. This bestseller has allegedly guided countless readers on manifesting lottery wins. The Law of Attraction suggests that certain thoughts and beliefs can bring about certain outcomes, and Coronado interviews many winners to help demonstrate his case. While there's no proven way to “attract” lottery wins, it can be fun to explore the possibility.

Scratch-off Bouquet

The concept is simple and fun: buy colorful scratch-offs at your local lottery retailer. You'll need at least five scratch-offs. Tape each ticket to a popsicle stick. Using tissue paper and a “vase” (which can be a bucket or basket), put the tickets in stick-first and arrange them into a bouquet like they're flowers. Even better, add in some treats or real flowers.

Pocket-sized lottery ball game

If your dad is a fidgeter and can't wait for the next drawing, he'll love playing with this tiny portable lottery game. Just release the latch, give the game a shake, and watch the tiny balls fall into the slots. The game can also help him come up with picks for his next lottery ticket. The main balls are white, but the bonus balls come in yellow, red, or black. He can keep it in his pocket and play with it whenever he wants!

Lucky scratcher coin

Everyone needs a little luck. Why not give your dad a boost this year? Instead of scratching off his tickets with any old coin, now he can use a special lucky coin with a green shamrock on it. Not only will he feel a little bit luckier, but he'll also think of his incredible kid every time he scratches.

“Future Scratch-off Lottery Winner” mug

Sometimes, it pays to start your day with a dose of confidence. If your dad is a coffee or tea drinker, he'll feel lucky after every sip with a mug that says “Future Scratch-Off Lottery Winner.” Pair it with the scratch-off bouquet, and you've got him covered.

Lottery slip T-shirts

Let's face it: Dad needs new shirts for hanging around the house and mowing the lawn. Let dad relax while celebrating his favorite pastime in these fun t-shirt options. Is your dad a play slip guy or a scratcher king? Or maybe he's both?
