RED BANK, N.J. (WABC) — New Jersey native Jon Bon Jovi is teaming up with the New Jersey Lottery on a new scratch-off game that offers players a chance to win cash prizes while supporting his charitable efforts.
At Lucky 7 Days Convenience Store in Wayne, a Bon Jovi fan tried his luck by purchasing four of the new Jon Bon Jovi scratch-off tickets. The game’s top prize is $200,000 for a winning ticket holder.
State officials formally announced the partnership at JBJ Soul Kitchen in Red Bank. Gov. Mikie Sherrill, lottery officials and Bon Jovi joined together for the event.
The game features $12 million in prizes. During a visit to the Wayne store, efforts to find a winner were unsuccessful as customers scratched their tickets.
Supporters say the game was created to give back to people whose work helps keep communities protected and children thriving.
Bon Jovi is donating proceeds from his share of the partnership to the JBJ Soul Foundation as he seeks to expand the Soul Kitchen network.
The new tickets are already available for players.
