Lottery Vending machines to be installed at State Farm Stadium for the first time, ever, so Arizona Lottery players can have a chance to win big on game day.
PHOENIX (September 3, 2019) – The Arizona Lottery and the Arizona Cardinals are kicking off the season with a huge first – Lottery Vending machines will be up and running, selling the full line of instant and draw games to fans 21-years old and up for the first time ever on the Cardinals’ home turf, beginning on opening day, September 8th. This is the latest and, perhaps, greatest development in the Lottery’s 20+ year history with the team, resulting in their becoming one of 3,000 lottery retailers across the state.
“Installing Lottery ticket vending machines at State Farm Stadium will be an exciting win-win for our players, many of whom are Cardinals fans,” Executive Director of the Arizona Lottery Gregg Edgar said. “We are excited to partner with the Arizona Cardinals again and we can’t wait to watch our players scratching in their seats while winning with their team.”
Arizona Cardinals fans now join Diamondbacks and Coyotes fans, who have been enjoying the excitement of playing Arizona Lottery games in the comfort of their own stadium’s seating.
The addition of vending machines at State Farm Stadium is also great news for the entire state of Arizona, building on the Lottery’s record-breaking $1.07 billion in sales for FY2019, with more than $225 million of that benefitting more than a dozen state-run programs. Financing the higher education infrastructure built and maintained by the Board of Regents, acquiring the habitat through the Heritage Fund to protect and promote our unique and iconic wildlife, and funding the Court Appointed Special Advocates, or CASA, to speak in court for abused and neglected children are just a few of the 18 beneficiaries that receive hundreds of millions of Lottery dollars every year.
