About the Washington Lottery
Washington's Lottery was launched in 1982 to help generate revenue for state programs. The lottery offers a variety of scratch-off tickets and draw games. Washington's Lottery frequently adds new scratch games—as often as once a month. Players can also choose from state draws like Hit 5 and Match 4, or popular multi-state jackpots like Powerball and Mega Millions.
Profits from ticket sales contribute to public education, stadium construction, and problem-gambling prevention and treatment. A large portion of profits benefits the state's Opportunity Pathways program, which provides financial assistance to college students and supports early childhood education.
