Missouri Lottery

The Missouri Lottery began operations in 1986 two years after votes overwhelmingly approved the repeal of legislation prohibiting lotteries. It’s overseen by a five-member commission and, as with most US states, offers a wide variety of draw-based and instant games. Ticket proceeds were originally directed to a general revenue fund until a law was passed in 1994 requiring funds to be distributed exclusively to education programs. The Missouri Lottery is a member of the Multi-State Lottery Association and is the 23rd lottery in the United States.
