In one of the strongest majority results in New Jersey
political history, a lottery was approved by a whopping 81.5 percent of voters
in November 1969. Under the direction of Ralph Batch, the New Jersey Lottery
began ticket sales on December 16, 1970, with a 50 cent weekly passive game
simply called The Weekly. A 5-digit daily game was introduced in November
1972, and its first instant game, 7-11-21, went on sale in June 1975. The
Lotterys major contribution to the industry came in May 1975, with the
unveiling of the countrys first computerized lottery system allowing
players to actually choose their own numbers. That first draw game, Pick-It,
became Pick 3, and it set the stage for all future American numbers games.
Pick 4 followed in June 1977, and the Lotterys first lotto game,
Pick-6 Lotto, began in May 1980. These two games are still in the product mix
today, which also includes Powerball, Mega Millions, Pick 3 and Jersey Cash 5.
For an extra $1, players can add Instant Match to any of the daily games for an
extra instant-win opportunity. Always the innovator, the Lotterys
first game with an Internet play component was introduced in February 2004,
Cyber Slingo. New Jersey Lottery proceeds benefit education and
institutions in the state, and revenues are distributed to the Department of
Education, the Department of Human Services, the Department of Military and
Veterans Affairs, the School Nutrition Program and the Marie Katzenbach School
for the Deaf. Some of the many programs which have benefitted from lottery
revenues include the operation of centers for the developmentally disabled,
state psychiatric hospitals and homes for veterans; higher education tuition
and grants; and aid to colleges and universities.
