The Colorado Lottery creates and sells games of chance in order to generate money for the state’s parks, recreation, open spaces and wildlife projects.  Sounds pretty simple, right?  But, as with most things, there is a lot happening behind the scenes that makes the simple infinitely more complicated.  We design graphics and prize structures for the more than 50 Scratch games we produce each year. We reconcile hundreds of thousands of wagers for each Powerball, Lotto and Cash 5 drawing.  We create advertising that is fun and creative, but still gets the message across that new games are on sale now.  We work with more than 2,900 retailers across the state and ensure our high standards are being met and our players can conveniently buy our games.  We work with winners to help them adjust to their new lives as millionaires.  We are constantly vigilant to ensure our games and drawings meet the highest standards of integrity and security.  Yes, there is a lot the Colorado Lottery does each day to bring a fun, quality product to you. But, we feel privileged that we get to do it every day.  It is our version of playing in Colorado.

You found your way to our Web site, and we are glad you did!  Our Web site serves a number of purposes.  It helps players see the winning numbers and current Scratch games.  It has a lot of information about who we are and where we’ve been.  It is a vital part of how we receive feedback from our players and the general public.  And, it’s a great resource for how our proceeds beneficiaries are putting the dollars we generate to work on making the State of Colorado a great place to live and play.  If you have any feedback for us, we’d love to hear from you, simply click on the “Contact Us” section of this Web site.

We have been your trusted Lottery for more than 26 years, and our impact can be felt far and wide.  We have returned more than $4 billion to our winners in the form of prizes. We have returned more than $2 billion to the State of Colorado.  We have helped retailers achieve more than $350 million in commissions and bonuses.  We employ more than 120 people across Colorado, and are cash-funded, meaning we do not draw any funds from the Colorado State General Fund.  In one way or another, we support you, your friends, family and neighbors. 
 
We are grateful for all of the support we receive, and promise to continue to work diligently to earn your trust and your business. Our motto is “Don’t Forget To Play.”  We believe our slogan serves two purposes: It reminds the public to buy our tickets to support our beneficiaries.  And, it encourages residents of our fine state to take a little time each day to do something fun. Colorado is a great place for us to live, raise our families and enjoy the great outdoors of Colorado.  Get out there and make the most of it.
