History
On September 27, 1971, the Massachusetts State Lottery was established following the legalization of gambling by the Massachusetts General Court, the legislature of the Commonwealth. The Massachusetts Lottery has generated over $126 billion in revenues and awarded over $88 billion in prizes, since its first ticket was sold in March 1972. The Lottery has successfully returned over $27 billion in net profit to the Commonwealth for unrestricted local aid available to cities and towns and paid over $7.2 billion in commissions and bonuses to its statewide network of retailers.
