The Kansas Lottery is run by the government of Kansas. It is a charter member of the Multi-State Lottery Association (MUSL).
In November 1986, voters approved a constitutional amendment (with 64 percent voting in favor) authorizing the creation of a government-run lottery. The Kansas Legislature passed the "Kansas Lottery Act" in 1987, establishing the Lottery. The mission of the Lottery is to produce the maximum amount of revenue possible for Kansas, while insuring the integrity of its games.
The Kansas Lottery offers $1, $2, $5, $10, and $20 scratch tickets, plus $1 and $2 instant "pull-tab" games. The Lottery also offers the terminal-based games Powerball, Mega Millions, Hot Lotto, Super Kansas Cash, Pick 3, 2by2, Keno, and Kansas Hold'Em. Lottery products are sold at approximately 1,900 retailers.
All Kansas Lottery games have a minimum age of 18.
The Lottery sponsors several races at the Kansas Speedway, including the Kansas Lottery 150 and the Kansas Lottery 300.
