About the Delaware Lottery
Delaware state officials enacted the lottery in 1974.
The first tickets went on sale in 1975. Powerball (then called Lotto America) tickets joined the portfolio in 1991.
The Delaware Lottery then introduced the Video Lottery system in 1995. Hot Lotto tickets went on sale in 2008, and the state joined Mega Millions in 2010.
Table Games were introduced in 2010. In 2013, Delaware launched iGaming, a system that allowed casino games to be played online.
Lottery revenue goes into the state's general fund, which supports many programs including public safety, health, and social and family services. Since its inception, the Delaware Lottery has raised billions for the general fund.
