Have you always wanted to combine your two loves of gambling and breakfast meat? New Hampshire has you covered with its new scratch-n-sniff "I Heart Bacon" lottery ticket.
The grand prize is $1,000, and a player's odds of winning at least $1 are 1 in 4.12. Lottery Commission Executive Director Charlie McIntyre said that the tickets smell so authentic that a player will "think it's time for Saturday morning breakfast," and to spread the word, a "bacon truck" will go around the state, offering samples of applewood smoked bacon and scratchers.
