About the Rhode Island Lottery
After state legislators passed a constitutional amendment allowing a lottery, the Rhode Island Lottery got started in 1974. The lottery became a founding member of the Multi-State Lottery Association in 1987, and tickets for MUSL's first game, Lotto America, went on sale the following year.
Today, Rhode Island Lottery, which is a state agency, offers a variety of games including Powerball, Wild Money, Mega Millions, Keno, and scratch-off tickets. Rhode Island also has a video lottery. Proceeds from the sale of lottery tickets go into the state's general fund and benefit a wide range of state programs, including education, the environment, and public safety. Players must be 18 or older.
