PA Lottery Annual Report 2014-2015
PA Lottery Annual Report 2013-2014
The Pennsylvania Lottery was
established by the legislature in August 1971. Ticket sales began March 7,
1972, with a 50-cent passive game featuring weekly drawings and a $1 million
grand prize. By the end of the first fiscal year, the Lotterys $57.7
million in revenues were nearly double the original projection. The first
instant game was introduced in May 1975. Nearly two years later, a numbers game
makes its debut when the 3-digit The Daily Number went on sale in March 1977.
Big 4 joined the lineup in November 1980. The weekly passive games ended in
April 1982, when the Lottery introduced Pennsylvania Lotto. Currently, the
Pennsylvania Lottery offers a number of draw games, including Powerball, Mega
Millions, Match 6, Cash 5, Treasure Hunt, Daily Number, Big 4 and Quinto. No
stranger to innovation, the Lottery had great success with Super 7, the first
game of its type in the country when introduced in 1986. Originally, players
matched seven of 11 numbers to win the jackpot, which reached $115.5 million in
1989, still a state record for a Pennsylvania-only game. The Lottery was also
first with a modern-day raffle game, which many lotteries have used with great
success. Millionaire Raffle tickets sold out in less than two weeks for the
first run in 2005. The Pennsylvania Lottery was created to generate funds to
benefit programs for the Commonwealths older residents, and remains the
only lottery in the country exclusively benefitting seniors. Initially,
Lottery proceeds provided property tax relief for Pennsylvania seniors. Over
the years the Lottery-funded programs have grown to include rent rebates, free
and reduced-fare transit, the low-cost prescription drug programs PACE and
PACENET, longterm living services, and the 52 Area Agencies on Aging, including
more than 600 full- and part-time senior centers across Pennsylvania.
