Is the era of the Ugly Sweater Party over yet? Let’s instead usher in the Year of the Cozy Sweater Party. We’d really rather celebrate with friends and families in a garment that doesn’t poke, prod, light up, and most of all, itch. Oh, that itch! If you must scratch something this season, make it this Holiday Magic Scratch-it, which features all of your cozy faves – a holiday card, a mug of cocoa, and those antler horns that you put on the dog because if you’re suffering for cuteness, so is she. At just $2, you can pick up enough Holiday Magic to bless everyone at your Cozy Sweater Party. They can win up to $10,000, with instant $20 wins when they find the penguin. Or you can keep it all for yourself and invest in some light, oh-so-soft sweaters that won’t itch at all. Ahhh.

Did you ever wonder why the other reindeer never let Rudolph play? Was it just his nose, or do you think he just wasn’t that good with the controller? Either way, now you’ve got a chance to finally get in on those coveted Reindeer Games – and you might win a lot more than a lump of coal. Go on a hunt through an 8-bit frozen tundra and see how many presents you can uncover and open. Like any retro game, there are lots of ways to win – up to 20 times! Don’t share it with Donner or Cupid, though. They’ve had plenty of chances to win their own prizes over the years.

Finally — a Scratch-it that honors your favorite fur babies! And just in time for the holidays. That friend with the, “Cats Rule, Dogs Drool” t-shirt? They’re going to LOVE the Holiday Pawrty Scratch-it with all of the toms and tabbies dressed up (or tangled up?) in their seasonal finery. For all the dog-moms and dog-dads, you’ll find the whole gang, dachshunds to dalmatians, all dapper and dressed in their howl-iday best. The cats and dogs alike are all ready for a “Holiday Pawrty!” Whichever version you choose, you’ll be matching up five winning numbers to your numbers, hoping for a chance at a top prize of $75,000 — plenty to keep you in dog treats, catnip, and squeaky balls for a long, long time.

In the classic holiday tune “Santa Baby,” the singer provides Saint Nick with a very clear wish list: decorations from Tiffany, a yacht, and of course, checks. Now that’s a gal who knows what she wants. You could try this tactic, too. Or, with the oh-so-twinkly Merry & Bright Scratch-it, you can cut out the middleman and go straight for the prize. This glitzy $30 ticket has the potential to make the season bright. With a top prize of $200,000, you’ll want to use your shiniest coin to scratch in search of winning symbols. Keep an eye out for the gift box – that’s an instant $100 winner! Buy one for your own stocking or to slip to your favorite coworker. Sure, maybe Santa will grace you with furs, diamonds, and an investment property. But why not increase the odds of a sparkling holiday with a Merry & Bright Scratch-it?

The best part of winter for you? It’s not presents. It’s not trimming the tree. No, it’s your own personal sleigh ride down the slopes at one of our state’s top-tier ski locales. Or it could be. Either way, ‘Tis the Season is its own special kind of lift ticket. For $20, you can win up to $150,000. But the best part about this game is that there are so many ways to win. Match your number to the winning numbers to pick up prizes that can be multiplied by 3 or 5, including multiple $100 prizes. And of course, don’t forget to enter your non-winning tickets in the app so that after the season, when the snow has all melted, you can have a Second Chance to win big.
