Last year I spent Thanksgiving at my daughter’s home. I brought gifts for everyone. The gifts were small bags with New Jersey Lottery scratch-offs. They were a HUGE hit.
At the last minute, one of her friends decided to come for dinner so I made a bag for him and added some extra scratch-offs I was keeping for myself.
HE WON $30 DOLLARS!!! So random, yet so funny and fun.
Fast forward. Thanksgiving 2020 was a whole lot smaller this year. It was my son, daughter, my ex-husband, and my daughter’s friend who has been quarantined and working from her apartment and had nowhere to go since her family lives out of state.
I STILL decided to do a New Jersey Lottery Gift, but this time I went with DIY Hot Chocolate Kits with some NJ Lottery Scratch offs for good luck.
It was a fun and easy project to make. Everyone loved them. It was a nice touch and a lot of fun once again, to scratch off the game cards to see who would win the most.
You can make the Holiday Hot Chocolate Kits for your friends and family too. They were very inexpensive and as you know, it’s the thought that counts.
SCRATCH OFF VIA ZOOM
If you’re doing drive-by social distance visits, then these kits are perfect. Once you drop them off, everyone can make their hot chocolates, join the zoom, and scratch off the game cards together to see who wins.
DIY HOLIDAY HOT CHOCOLATE MUGS W/ NJ LOTTERY SCRATCHOFFS
MATERIALS
- Holiday Mug
- Chocolate Santa
- Instant Hot Chocolate
- Clear Gift Bag
- NJ Lottery Scratch Offs
The materials for this gift are very inexpensive. You can easily get everything at the dollar store. I wanted to keep it reasonable because a lot of us are not having an easy time this year but, we still want to celebrate and have some fun.
If you’d like, you can always go for fancier mugs and gourmet chocolate and gourmet hot chocolate.
The great part is that no matter how much you spend, the star of the show is the scratch-offs. I received the scratch-offs used in these photos complimentary.
Where to Find NJ Lottery Scratch Offs
There are 4 New Holiday Scratch-Offs for 2020 ($1, $2, $5 Happy Holidays, and $10 $1,00,000 Spectacular). You can find them at 7-Eleven, Quick Check, Wawa, and more. I buy mine at my local grocery store.
Million Dollar Replay
One of the best parts about the NJ Lottery Scratch Offs is that if you don’t win you still have another chance to win with Million Dollar Replay. You take the scratch-offs that didn’t win and enter them here for a second chance to win cash. Good Luck!
