Just when I think I've seen all of the unusual product tie-ins, I spot this on Ebay.

I love the tie-ins that make no sense at all.

Have you ever seen the Indiana Jones lottery ticket? Fortune and glory my ass.

There was this video-slot machine thing they made based on Back to the Future, and featured Cristopher Lloyd reprising his role as Doc Brown at the video segments, saying he came up with an invention that turns time into money and stuff... Kinda neat...
“Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.” — Nazi Reich Marshal Hermann Goering

So much for not making monetary gain from time travel, Doc!
There are scratch-off lottery tickets in California featuring artwork from all six movies. (Marketed along with coins that resemble the old Kenner medallions.) I'm sure some collectors were in a dilemma over whether to scratch them or put them in a display case! I guess trilogy slot machines may appear some day.
