— -- Lottery tickets in New Hampshire just got a whole lot more fun, win or lose. The smell of bacon will be wafting up from the state’s first-ever scented scratch-off ticket.

The “I Heart Bacon” scratch ticket costs $1 and offers a grand prize of $1,000. When players scratch the ticket, a “generous” whiff of bacon is released.

“The lottery is focused on developing new and fun ways to engage customers. The ‘I Heart Bacon’ scratch ticket combines two things people love: the chance to win cash and the wonderful, enticing smell of bacon,” New Hampshire Lottery Commission executive director Charlie McIntyre said in a statement. “Every time players scratch an ‘I Heart Bacon’ ticket, they will think it is time for Saturday morning breakfast, and they might just scratch and sniff their way to $1,000!”

The odds of winning the grand prize are one in 391,800. But you have one in 7.89 odds of winning back your dollar.
