About the Colorado Lottery

Colorado Scenery

The Colorado Lottery started in 1983, with the very first draw taking place on April 23. The lottery is a self-funded organization and doesn’t receive any help from the state’s General Fund.

All of the funds that are needed to run the lottery come solely from business revenue. The lottery is a member of the Multi-State Lottery Association and revenue from lottery ticket sales is directed by the state’s constitutional amendment, as approved by voters.

To date, the Colorado Lottery has spent over $3.4 billion protecting the state’s wilderness along with a myriad of other activities like building swimming pools, parks, trails, and a list of other recreational sports.

FAQS

What happens if I lose my Colorado Lottery ticket?

Always keep your tickets safe. Sign the back of the ticket and fill out your address so that no one else can claim it. No one can claim prizes unless the winning ticket is presented.

How do I claim my prize?

The Colorado Lottery gives you a number of options for claiming prizes. You can claim smaller prizes at lottery retailers or, for bigger prizes, visit one of the four claim centers in person or mail your signed ticket to the Pueblo HQ along with a claim form.

We strongly recommend, however, that before claiming any big lottery prize you consult with a lawyer or financial advisor as they can help you during the claim process.

Can I keep my identity a secret when I win?

If you win a lottery prize in Colorado, it’s part of the Colorado Open Records Act. Your first name and the initial of your last name will be published on the Colorado Lottery website. You have the choice of whether or not to have your photo taken.

Also keep in mind that the Colorado Lottery does not recognize trusts, partnerships, or corporations as winners of lottery prizes. Only individuals can claim lottery prizes.

Can I purchase tickets by mail or over the phone?

No. You can only legally purchase Colorado Lottery tickets using any of the Colorado Lottery sales terminal within the borders of Colorado. The Colorado Lottery does not offer an online or mail-in subscription service.

Players must be 18 years or older to play the lottery. However, you can purchase tickets as gifts for people under the age of 18. If they win, and the ticket was a gift, they may claim their prize.

Where does the lottery money go?
