The Texas Lottery is celebrating the 50th anniversary of Steven Spielberg's 1975 blockbuster "Jaws" with a shark-themed scratch-off game, movie screenings and a chance to win $1 million.
The $5 scratch ticket game offers four top prizes of $100,000, though losers could win even more. Non-winning tickets can be entered to win a second-chance drawing with prizes including a VIP trip to Austin in 2027 and cash prizes up to $1 million.

The Texas Lottery said players will also have opportunities to attend special events and movie screenings at Alamo Drafthouse Cinemas across the state. Additionally, special screening events are being held in June and July at Volente Beach Resort, where brave moviegoers can watch the classic film while floating in inner tubes.
