PA Lottery Where Does The Money Go?

PA Lottery Winners and PA Lottery Benefits

Pennsylvania law ensures that the PA Lottery contributes at least 27 cents of each dollar earned to programs for older residents and 40 cents of each dollar to PA Lottery winners in the form of monetary Lottery prizes. Last fiscal year, the PA Lottery exceeded those benchmarks by contributing nearly 30 cents of each dollar to programs for older residents and about 61 cents of each dollar to PA Lottery winners in the form of monetary Lottery prizes. In that same fiscal year, the PA Lottery had more than $3.4 billion in sales and contributed more than $1 billion to programs that benefit older Pennsylvanians.

The Pennsylvania Lottery strives each day to continue to be a successful enterprise of state government that contributes to the Commonwealth in a way that makes all Pennsylvanians proud.
