We’re back in Atlantic City for one of the most electric events of the year—the Million Dollar Replay at the Golden Nugget, hosted by the New Jersey Lottery. In this episode, I take you behind the scenes of a day full of second chances, big energy, and even bigger prize money.

We kick things off with a breakdown of how Million Dollar Replay works, what’s up for grabs, and how even non-winning tickets can still pay off in a big way. We also talk about some upcoming events and updates from the NJ Lottery, including the Rock Paper Scissors Throwdown at American Dream, the Rockin’ Riches Fast Play game, and changes coming to Mega Millions in 2025.

From there, we hit the floor to talk with players, guests, and lottery representatives. You’ll hear real stories from finalists—some who’ve been entering for years, some attending for the first time, and even one who walked away with the $1 million grand prize. We also touch on the importance of responsible play with help from the Council on Compulsive Gambling, who joined the event to offer resources and support.

Whether it's tales of $5,000 wins off forgotten tickets, lucky numbers drawn from snowblowers, or entire families making a weekend trip out of it, this episode is full of the human moments that make events like this feel so special.

Even if you’re not a lottery player, this one’s worth the listen—it’s about hope, joy, and the thrill of taking a chance.
