The North Dakota Lottery

All About the North Dakota Lottery

The North Dakota Lottery was created in November 2002 although it took nearly ten years to get it approved. From 1984 till 2002 the bill to allow a Lottery for the people of the state was put on the back burner nearly half a dozen times. Much of this had to do with voter’s disapproval to how the funds would be spent. As of today all revenue generated by the North Dakota Lottery has passed onto the State General Fund to aid in public education with the attorney general overseeing how these funds are distributed.

North Dakota Lottery offers four online games and various scratch tickets which are sold at all 400+ lottery retailers. The online games include the Powerball which was introduced in March of 2004 with Rep. Andy Maragos, the state representative who was responsible for challenging the North Dakota Constitution purchased the very first ticket.

In June of 2007, only five years after the start of the North Dakota Lottery, they were ready to celebrate the sale of the 25th million tickets sold. To earmark this occasion the player who purchased this ticket received an extra bonus. The North Dakota Lottery gave the winner $25,000 in recognition for this ticket along with a 25 millionth Congratulations Certificate.
For every $1 in ticket sales, the North Dakota Lottery designates $0.47 back to prizes for players and $0.29 to the State General Fund.
