“We love to see so many Arizonans from so many different parts of our state win so much money,” Executive Director of the Arizona Lottery Gregg Edgar said. “When Arizona Lottery players win, our whole state wins as they are doing so much good for our state with the dollars they are spending to play our games.”
Arizona Lottery ticket sales fund more than a dozen vital programs across our state, including higher education infrastructure built and maintained by the Board of Regents, habitat purchased through the Heritage Fund to protect and promote our unique and iconic wildlife, and the Court Appointed Special Advocates, or CASA, speaking in court for abused and neglected children. These are just a few of the 18 beneficiaries that receive hundreds of millions of Lottery dollars every year.
