State Lottery

The Missouri Lottery Commission comprises of five members, appointed by the governor and approved by the Senate, to govern the Lottery. Not more than three people of the same political party can be the members of the Commission, as stated in Missouri Statute 313.215. The Commissioners do not receive any salary and serve various terms, ranging from one to three years.

The Commission enforces the supervisory role over the lottery by issuing rules and appointing a director. The Director is liable to run the day-to-day business of the lottery, including the hiring of employees, issuing licenses and negotiating contracts with vendors.
