Bruins Scratch-Off Tickets Offer $50K Top Prize

The Boston Bruins have teamed up with the Massachusetts State Lottery to create Bruins-branded tickets that offer a total of $22 million in cash prizes.

In preparation for the first home game of the upcoming season, the 2014 Boston Bruins Instant Tickets is giving away more than 3 million prizes ranging from $2 to $4,000 and ten 10 prizes of $50,000.

The $2 scratch-off tickets went on sale at 7,400 licensed retailers across the state on Tuesday.

Participants with losing tickets get another chance to win in a second-chance drawing where they can win up to $25,000 in cash and custom Bruins memorabilia. There will be five second-chance drawings held on the ice during Bruins home games.

Ticket sales are expected to reach $30.2 million, providing about $5.8 million in unrestricted local aid to Massachusetts towns, according to Massachusetts State Lottery.

Since 2009, these Bruins-branded offerings have earned over $140.9 million in sales and have provided $24 million in aid, the largest amount of aid given to towns across the Commonwealth.
