JAWS:

A new “Jaws”-themed lottery ticket gives players the chance to bite into a $1 million prize — and a trip to where the classic movie was filmed.

According to the Mass. State Lottery, the $10 scratch-off is the first of its kind to commemorate the movie “Jaws.” The film was released almost 50 years ago — on June 20, 1975 — and was filmed in Massachusetts’ own Martha’s Vineyard. 

The ticket, to be released on March 26, will be easily recognizable by the large shark bearing its teeth on the front. 

Players can win up to $1 million instantly, according to the lottery, or enter a second-chance drawing. Second-chance players can win a VIP trip for two to Martha’s Vineyard and a randomly selected cash prize ranging from $500-$1,000,000.
