 In fiscal year 2012, players won $659.9 million in prize money. At the same time the CT Lottery provided a record
$310 million to support the valuable services and
programs founded by the state’s General Fund including public health, libraries, public safety, education and more.
Since the Lottery began in 1972, our contributions to the General Fund have exceeded $7.5 billion, and we have awarded more than $13 billion to winners. Thanks to the support of residents all across the state, everyone in Connecticut wins.
At the CT Lottery, we are very proud to show you how the monies collected from Lottery tickets are distributed.
