About the Maryland Lottery
Due to a popular vote in 1972, the Maryland Lottery was established and started operating in January the following year.
Since 1973, the Lottery has offered a number of popular games and produced big winners in the state. In 2012, a three-member lottery pool won a share of the Mega Millions jackpot worth $656 million. Each winner chose a lump sum payment that came to $35 million each.
Maryland is one of the few U.S. states that allows its lottery winners to remain anonymous. The Lottery helps provide important funding for public health and safety, education, human resources, and environmental initiatives throughout the state. To date, more than $16 billion in revenue has been allocated to various causes, while over $25.6 billion has been handed out to players as prizes. In Maryland, players need to be at least 18 years old to play the lottery and redeem prizes.
