Kentucky Lottery Corporation

Established in 1989, the Kentucky Lottery was the first lottery in the United States to be implemented as a corporation. Since our first day of ticket sales, we’ve earned Kentucky’s state treasury more than $5 billion by offering countless exciting games and prizes to our players, all while never losing sight of our main concern for our public to play responsibly. The Kentucky Lottery Corporation’s mission is to generate state revenue while supporting Kentucky youths’ pursuit of knowledge. As a major contributor of funding for public education, we have provided our best and brightest with more than $3.6 billion in grants and scholarships, making one out of every five Kentuckians a recipient of our educational assistance funding.The majority of every ticket sale - 63% - goes directly back to players like you in the form of cash prizes, incentives and rewards, while the second largest portion of revenue generated - 26% - is invested back into our state. Nearly 6% of the proceeds to the retailers who offer our games, many of which are local businesses including restaurants, bars, convenience stores and others. Only 5% of revenue is retained to maintain internal Lottery operations.Learn more about how the KY Lottery is achieving its goal of Spreading More Wealth to the Commonwealth at www.kylottery.com.For our Social Media Terms, visit http://bit.ly/KYSocialMediaTerms.
