The Delaware Lottery

The Delaware Lottery started in 1975 in a less traditional way than most of the other lotteries in the United States. The Delaware lottery's first game was the "LOTTO Superfecta", which was a weekly game based on live horse races held at Brandywine and Harrington Raceways. Less than a year later they introduced instant win games. These new lottery games were a huge success.

30 years later, the Delaware Lottery has been successful in helping the people of the state through their significant financial contributions to the General Fund. This fund has been established to help the state with many different services and publicly funded projects such as public health and education while keeping tax dollars low. Since 1975, the Delaware Lottery has contributed over $256 million dollars the fund with the help of over 500 supporting retailers across the state.

In 1995 and 1996, the lottery introduced video lottery games (which look like "slot machines) at the three racetracks in the state: Delaware Park, Dover Downs and Harrington Raceway's Midway Slots.
