- The Arizona Lottery is a state agency of Arizona in the southwest United States. It is a member of the Multi-State Lottery Association (MUSL). Lottery draw games include Mega Millions, Powerball, The Pick, Fantasy 5, Pick 3, and Triple Twist. A variety of instant scratch tickets, or Scratchers, are also offered. The Arizona Lottery's mission statement is to support Arizona programs for the public benefit by maximizing revenue in a responsible manner. Arizona became the first state west of the Mississippi River to approve a lottery when the statewide public initiative (Proposition 200) narrowly passed in November 1980. In 2002, a vote to extend the lottery for another ten years was passed, with 73% in favor. In 2010, the Lottery was extended into 2035. The first sale from the Arizona Lottery was 41 years ago on July 1, 1981; the product was an instant scratch ticket called Scratch It Rich. Proceeds from sales of Arizona Lottery tickets, nearly $4 million weekly, fund a variety of state programs. In fiscal year 2016, the Arizona Lottery transferred over $205 million to these programs. The Lottery transfers money to 12 funds that serve 18 beneficiaries. There are six core Arizona Lottery pillars that these 18 beneficiaries align with: arts and education; community enrichment; economic development; environmental conservation; health and human services; and public safety. Arizona requires lottery players to be at least 21 years of age; the minimum age was 18 until June 1, 2003. (en)
