When You Play The Lottery In Maryland, Everybody Wins.

You don't have to play the Lottery to reap its rewards. Because the simple truth is that about 40% of every Lottery dollar is contributed to the State's General Fund. General Fund dollars help support almost every aspect of life in our State, from Education and Health Care to Public Safety and the Environment. In fact, since 1973 the Maryland Lottery has contributed more than $9 billion to the General Fund. So, now in our 33rd year, we'd like to say thanks, for putting everyone in a winning state.
