LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — The Nebraska Lottery says it will be selling Sriracha-scented scratch tickets as part of a new $2 scratch game.
It’s called Hot Sriracha, and each ticket contains a scent replicating that of the famous Asian sauce. The game offers three $15,000 top prizes and a total of more than $468,000 in cash prizes.
Acting Nebraska Lottery director Jill Marshall says in a news release that lottery officials think the new game “is the first Sriracha-scented scratch game ever made.”
Lottery spokesman Neil Watson said Thursday that tickets are being distributed and may be purchased wherever they’re offered.
