The New Jersey Lottery is the State’s fifth largest individual revenue producer benefiting the residents of New Jersey. Since its inception in 1970, the Lottery has contributed over $30 billion to the State, helping to support many worthwhile programs and services. In 1969, New Jersey voters approved legislation to launch a state lottery by an astonishing 81.5%, becoming the third state to pass a legal lottery. The New Jersey Lottery is committed to providing revenue-generating entertainment products in a responsible manner to help protect the retirement benefits of those who serve our communities, including New Jersey’s teachers, police officers, firefighters, and other public employees. We accomplish this through the responsible sale of Lottery products and a dynamic public business enterprise built upon honesty, integrity, customer satisfaction, and private partnerships. The New Jersey Lottery is the title sponsor in a multi-year agreement with the New Jersey Festival of Ballooning. The “New Jersey Lottery Festival of Ballooning” is the largest summertime hot air balloon and music festival in North America, considered a must on everyone’s summer calendar, as well as one of the Top 50 festivals in America by MSN Lifestyle.
