Retailer Licensing Information

How to Become an Iowa Lottery Retailer

For those interested in becoming a lottery retailer, a lottery license is required. Receive an application form by contacting a “Regional Sales Office”.

Retailers obtaining a lottery license start by first selling scratch or pull-tab tickets. Once those sales have grown high enough, the lottery then considers placing a lotto machine at the retailer location. A number of factors determine whether or not a particular retailer location will be profitable enough to cover the costs of the expensive equipment required.

Benefits

Selling lottery products brings customers into a retailer location. Lottery products are exciting and give your customers a chance win great prizes. We also offer fun promotions.

Lottery proceeds are used to fund the Iowa General Fund, see Where the Money Goes.

Costs

A $25 fee must be paid to the Iowa Lottery and submitted along with your application form.
