Indiana Lottery Debuts Bacon-Scented Scratch-Off Tickets, Prizes Include 20-Year Supply Of Bacon
Along with rewarding whiff of meat on the $2 cards that went on sale yesterday, there are the usual cash prizes to tempt players, with instant prizes of up to $10,000 and five chances to win 20 years of bacon.
But what if you don’t have a ginormous deep freezer/meat locker prepared to accept all that bacon? Not to fear — the prize will be paid out in 20 installments of bacon (worth approximately $250 each) to allow for easy refrigeration, according to the official rules [PDF].
If you happen to be say, a vegetarian or someone else who doesn’t want all that bacon delivered to your doorstep? You can instead choose a one-time lump sum payment of $5,000 cash.
