The Idaho Lottery is celebrating its 35th anniversary with a record dividend being returned to the people of Idaho. The Lottery has announced that it will be returning $73.5 million to the state this year, marking the highest dividend payout in its history. This milestone reflects the Lottery’s commitment to giving back to the community and supporting important state programs.
The Idaho Lottery was established in 1989 and has since generated over $1.3 billion in dividends for the state. These funds have been used to support various programs, including public schools, outdoor recreation, and infrastructure projects. The Lottery’s success can be attributed to its popular games, including scratch-off tickets, Powerball, and Mega Millions.
In addition to providing entertainment for players, the Idaho Lottery plays a crucial role in supporting the state’s economy and funding important initiatives. The record dividend payout for this year is a testament to the Lottery’s continued success and commitment to giving back to the community.
“We are proud to celebrate 35 years of serving the people of Idaho and are thrilled to announce this record dividend payout,” said Jeff Anderson, Idaho Lottery Director. “This milestone would not have been possible without the support of our players, retailers, and partners. We look forward to continuing to support important state programs and initiatives in the years to come.”
As the Idaho Lottery marks this significant milestone, it is clear that the organization will continue to play a vital role in the state’s economy and in supporting important programs for years to come. The record dividend payout is a testament to the Lottery’s success and commitment to giving back to the people of Idaho.
