Missouri became the 23rd lottery in the United States
after voters resoundingly approved a constitutional amendment in November 1984;
the measure passed with a 70 percent vote. A bill created the Missouri Lottery
the following spring, and ticket sales began on January 20, 1986. The first
game was Jackpot 86, a $1 instant ticket, and first-day sales set a
record for the time of $5.6 million in total and $1.14 per capita. Sales that
first week topped $23.8 million. The Lotterys first draw game began
October 1, 1996, when Missouri Lotto tickets went on sale, offering a minimum
jackpot of $1 million. Pick 3 was added in February 1987, and Lotto*America
sales began a year later. Pulltabs were introduced in May 1990. Current
draw games offered by the Missouri Lottery include Powerball, Mega Millions,
Lotto, Show Me Cash, Pick 3 and Pick 4. Also in the lineup is the monitor game
Club Keno, played at social locations and available as Keno to Go. An
important change took place in 1988, when voters approved an amendment to
remove several operating restrictions that kept the Lottery from keeping pace
with its peers. Some affected advertising, but most importantly the amendment
eliminated a 45 percent maximum prize payout. The Missouri Lottery has long
been active in the area of social responsibility, and in 1997 it was one of the
founding members of the Missouri Alliance to Curb Problem Gambling.
Originally, proceeds from the Lottery were sent to the states General
Fund. In 1992, voters were again asked to address lottery issues and approved
an amendment that earmarked Lottery revenues for education. Each year, the
legislature determines how these proceeds will be allocated, and lottery money
currently represents about four percent of the total funding for
Missouris public elementary, secondary and higher education systems.
Some of the programs benefitting from Lottery revenues include the A+
program, Virtual Schools, Special Education Excess Costs, construction of
college and university buildings, library acquisitions and educational
scholarships.
