The New England Patriots are teaming up with the Massachusetts State Lottery on a new scratch ticket.

The two sides said Thursday they expect the new instant game to launch before the start of the 2009 National Football League season in September.

The Patriots will be marking their 50th anniversary this fall.

The deal comes after NFL owners voted earlier this week to allow teams to partner with local lotteries.

It also follows a similiar deal the Lottery made with the Boston Red Sox after Major League Baseball allowed similar partnerships.

The Lottery now sells a $5 Red Sox ticket.
