Celebrates 50th anniversary of Steven Spielberg's classic movie
By Todd Northrop
BOSTON, Mass. — The Massachusetts State Lottery Commission is making waves by announcing a limited-edition scratch-off lottery game inspired by the iconic movie "Jaws."
Set to launch on March 26, the new game offers players a chance to win big while reliving the suspense of the classic film.
Jaws scratch tickets will be priced at $10 each. When players scratch off the ticket, they have the opportunity to win up to $1 million instantly.
Even if luck doesn't strike immediately, there's still hope. Players can enter each non-winning Jaws tickets into second-chance drawings. A total of 30 lucky winners will be selected for a three-night stay for two at the Harbor View Hotel on Martha's Vineyard — the picturesque Massachusetts island where the original 1975 movie was filmed.
The winning package also includes black car service to and from the ferry, a custom guided bus tour of the island and some of the locations seen in the film, a private screening of Jaws, $1,000 in spending cash and more. Each of the 30 second-chance winners will also win a cash prize, with one person winning $1 million.
For the person who wins a second-chance prize with the $1 million prize, it's a rare case where the second-chance prize is actually better than any of the game's regular top prizes.
Just over 8 million of the limited-edition Jaws scratch tickets will be sold.

insert 'Jaws' theme LOL
Gotta try something to drum up business.
Anything goes.
Second chance draw prize looks appealing though
hard to believe its been nearly 50 years since it was first released upon the masses LOL
if you think the jaws theme is bad, you shoulda heard the other ideas that were pitched in the staff meeting: chucky, saw, and mary poppins.
They're gonna need a bigger pay out
I am sticking with my budget, one PB with PP and one MM with Multiplier for every draw.
That's all 🤣🤣
I wonder if they stopped to think about peoples' unjustified fear of sharks and the increasing number of great white sharks around Cape Cod.
Potholes, Food Prices, attack of the 50 foot Honey Boo Boo.
So you're chasing the secondary prizes. Those PP and Multipliers are not offered because it benefits the player in case you are wondering. You would better off funneling that money into more combinations or even better playing your state lottery instead where you can have a much better chance of winning a million or two.
I like honey boo boo. I hope she stays in school and gets her nursing degree. She needs to break that family cycle.
people still watch that garbage ?!?
I play our state lottery too, it's a jackpot that increases with each drawing.
I also play lucky for life and 2 by 2 🤣
I did not feel like I have to say everything that I play.
I have never played a scratch game ever.
I still add the $1 on my PB and MM for three reasons.
One, I can afford to do that.
Two, my winnings gets multiplied by whatever.
Three, it makes me happy 😜
After millions of tickets purchased, no one won the second prize on MM drawing yesterday 3/1.
It's all luck
Have not seen it in years but the family pops up in the entertainment news. Celebrate her trying to get an education. I support people trying to change their circumstances through hard work..
potholes themed scratchers.
