We launched this contest last week, but I want to give everyone a reminder that you have a chance to win NJ Lottery tickets in a very simple way.

All you have to do is submit a photo of your Halloween decorations and you’re in the running to win. It’s not a matter of having the best or most extravagant displays, everyone is able to win.

(I just ask that you please take your photos horizontally instead of vertically. Thank you!)
