The newest lottery in North America,
the Arkansas Scholarship Lottery, was created by legislation in March 2009
after voters approved a lottery the previous November. The nine-member Lottery
Commission was finalized that May and Lottery staffing began in June.
Ticket sales began September 28, 2009, some three months earlier than
anticipated when the legislation was passed. Four instant games made up the
initial launch, including price points of $1, $2 and $5. Barely 20 days later,
the Lottery was able to repay in full to the State of Arkansas its $2.8 million
startup loan. On December 7, the Lottery passed the $100 million sales mark,
just 71 days after its launch. The Lotterys draw game portfolio began
with the introduction of Powerball in October 2009, followed by Cash 3 in
December. Current games also include Mega Millions, Cash 4, Decades of Dollars,
Fast Play and the monthly raffle Arkansas 50/50. The early success of its
instant program the Lottery quickly rose to fifth among all U.S.
lotteries in terms of per capita sales for instant games in the fourth quarter
2009 was credited to a welldesigned program that includes a strong
second-chance program and a Points for Prizes players club. Net proceeds
from the Arkansas Scholarship Lottery are used to provide scholarships and
grants to Arkansas residents enrolled in public and private nonprofit two-year
and four-year colleges and universities within the state. Because Arkansas has
ranked next to last of all states in terms of the percentage of citizens
holding college degrees, the Lottery is playing a critical role in helping more
residents obtain solid education.
