DCs mission is to provide District residents with financial benefits through the sale of lottery products and support of charitable organizations pursuant to gaming regulations.
Since the Lotterys inception in 1982, our total contribution has been over $1.5 billion to the Districts General Fund. The D.C. Lotterys annual transfer to the General Fund remains a vital component in aiding the citys economy, thereby benefiting all residents of the District of Columbia, as well as suburban commuters and tourists. The General Fund supports services such as education, recreation and parks, public safety, housing, and senior and child services. The D.C. Lottery directly benefits our players by paying out more than 50 percent of annual sales in prize money. We also directly benefit local businesses by providing commissions to retailers licensed to sell D.C. Lottery games and offering contracting opportunities.Managed by Multi-State Lottery Association.
