The Connecticut Lottery Corporation was the
first lottery in the nation to become a "quasi-public corporation." The
CT Lottery remains a state agency, but, because of its enterprise nature, the
lottery is self-funded, and receives no operating money from the state
treasury. Since the Lottery began in 1972, more than $14 billion in lottery
tickets has been sold, and more than $5.1 billion of that has been returned to
the state's General Fund (used to support programs and services like education,
health and human services, and public safety). Prizes to players totals
more than $7.8 billion. Games include more than 40 scratch tickets at any
one time, plus drawing games including Cash5, Classic Lotto, Powerball,
Mid-Day3, Mid-Day4, Play3 and Play4.
IN MEMORY: Lottery president Otho
Brown, CFO Linda Mlynarczyk, VP Frederick Rubelmann, and information systems
manager Michael Logan were murdered by a co-worker at the company headquarters
in March 1998.
