Jon Bon Jovi Funds New Community Restaurant with Lottery Scratch-Off Proceeds in Monmouth County

Jon Bon Jovi has launched new 'Jersey Legend: Jon Bon Jovi' scratch-off lottery tickets in partnership with the New Jersey Lottery. The $5 tickets feature three designs showcasing moments from his career, with top prizes of $200,000. Bon Jovi announced that his entire participation fee from this initiative will be donated to the JBJ Soul Foundation. This donation is specifically earmarked to fund the establishment of a new JBJ Soul Kitchen community restaurant in Monmouth County. The JBJ Soul Kitchen concept, co-founded by Bon Jovi and his wife Dorothea Bongiovi, operates on a pay-what-you-can model, where diners can either pay a suggested donation, contribute extra to cover another's meal, or volunteer in exchange for a nutritious, three-course meal. Since its inception in 2011, the JBJ Soul Kitchens have served over 252,000 meals, with approximately 59% going to those in need. Currently, there are locations in Red Bank, Toms River, and Rutgers University–Newark.
