“Over the past four decades, the Arizona Lottery has paid nearly $10.5 billion in prizes to players and more than $1.1 billion to retailers in commissions. More importantly, the Arizona Lottery has returned over $4.8 billion to many vital state programs and services that would otherwise rely on tax dollars for their funding.” Arizona Lottery Executive Director Gregg Edgar said the Arizona Lottery has made a substantial financial contribution over four decades to the state for programs in environmental conservation, higher education, health and human services, and economic and business development. “We’re celebrating 40 years of giving back to the community, and we’re proud to have transferred more than $4.8 billion, through ticket sales, to vital programs and services throughout the state,” Edgar said. “Our ‘Gives Back’ sponsorships, totaling hundreds of thousands of dollars every year, are funded with Arizona Lottery marketing dollars. These unique partnerships help nonprofits across Arizona accomplish their missions while helping the Arizona Lottery to tell its story.”
