Do you know what would make your holidays merry and bright? The chance to win big with NJ Lottery tickets!

How can you easily make that happen? I’ll get to that in a moment… first, let me paint a picture.

It seems like any parent has been there: you think it’s a holiday tradition that you take your kids to get pictures with Santa.

You get your kids all dressed up; they’re all decked out in red and green, their hair is combed, and so on.

You wait in line to meet the big man, anticipation growing, and then once you have your turn and the helper elf gets your child on Santa’s lap… all Hell breaks loose.

The perfect photo you were picturing in your mind of your kids with Santa Claus, in reality, is just a photo of a man trying his best as your son or daughter is loudly sobbing on his lap.

In the moment? Awful. Afterward? Completely hilarious. Especially if you’re me, and guess what? I’m in a giving mood this holiday season.

I want to make the best of the awkward situation. Submit your “Santa fail” photos for a chance to win NJ Lottery tickets from the New Jersey Prize Team.
