State Lottery

The Connecticut Lottery was created in 1971 by legislation. Like many other lotteries, the Connecticut lottery began as a state agency. As political leaders realized the need for it to operate as a major retail business, the agency became a quasi-public corporation, the Connecticut Lottery Corp., on July 1, 1996. The CT Lottery is renowned in the lottery industry for being committed to helping the State of Connecticut achieve its revenue-raising objectives.

Furthermore, the CT Lottery is also charged to address the problem of underage gambling by adopting proactive measures to implement and support responsible gaming initiatives.
