We've Raised More Than $1.1 Billion For State Programs logo

Iowa Wins!

More Than $1.1 Billion In Lottery Proceeds Benefit The State.

For more than 22 years, Iowa Lottery profits have helped to make Iowa a better place to live, work and raise a family.

Since its start in 1985, the Iowa Lottery has provided entertainment and prizes to its players while at the same time raising more than $1.1 billion for the state programs that benefit all Iowans. And, the lottery continues to add tens of millions of dollars in profits to that total each year.

Through the years, lottery funds have been used in a variety of ways to enhance the state, including projects to create new recreation areas, support research at Iowa's public universities, develop new products and techniques for agriculture, and promote tourism in Iowa. For that, the lottery thanks its players. When you play the lottery, Iowa wins.
