Director's Message

It’s our 35^th Anniversary here at the Maryland Lottery. On May 15, 1973, our first ticket, Twin Win, went on sale and Marylanders greeted the game with enthusiasm. Now, more than three decades later, the Lottery is still going strong, generating lots of fun and excitement for players while providing substantial revenue for our great State. In fact, since its debut, sales have totaled more than $28.6 billion, returning more than $10.5 billion to Maryland, supporting essential services and programs in our communities.

To herald this auspicious occasion, the Lottery is holding several parties across Maryland. Come out and disco to music of the 70’s, take part in our dance contests and even take home great Lottery prizes and anniversary memorabilia like tie-dye t-shirts.

In other Lottery news, our Dubble Bubble Doubler ticket has broken sales records. In one month alone, the ticket made a name for itself as the best-selling $2 scratch-off in Maryland Lottery history.

As always, we’ve been congratulating lots of happy winners here at Lottery headquarters. Along with many big scratch-off winners, Multi-Match and Bonus Match 5 winners, the Mega Millions game has produced 70 third-tier $10,000 prizes and 12 second-tier $250,000 prizes in Maryland since January of this year. The next mega winner could be you!

I hope you enjoy the spring weather and be sure to watch for the Lottery at our May anniversary celebrations as well as terrific events…all spring and summer long.

Sincerely,

Buddy Roogow
Director
