About The Kansas Lottery
In November of 1986, 64 percent of Kansas voters approved a
constitutional amendment authorizing the creation of a state
lottery. The Kansas Legislature passed the "Kansas Lottery Act" in
1987, and the Kansas Lottery was established. The mission of the
Kansas Lottery is to produce the maximum amount of revenue possible
for the State of Kansas while insuring the integrity of all
games.
The Kansas Lottery sells $1, $2, $5, $10 and $20 scratch tickets
and $1 and $2 instant pull tab games. In addition, Kansas Lottery
players enjoy Powerball, Mega Millions, Hot Lotto, Super Kansas
Cash, Pick 3, 2by2, Keno and Kansas Hold'Em online games. Kansas
Lottery products are sold at approximately 1,900 retail
locations.
