Background

The Florida Lottery was created in 1986 through a constitutional amendment voters enacted by a two-to-one margin. Florida voters authorized a lottery that would use all its proceeds to enhance public education in Florida.
Governor Bob Martinez and the Florida Legislature established just such an education lottery and dedicated it to “maximize revenues to education to allow the people of Florida to benefit from significant additional monies while providing the best lottery games available.”
Over the 19 - year history of the Florida Lottery, both goals have been accomplished.
Driven by the legislative mandate for tickets to go on sale by January 18, 1988, the Lottery's “start-up” was a year of dynamic activity: Rebecca Paul was appointed as the Lottery's first permanent Secretary; employees were hired; vendors for On-line and Scratch-Off games were contracted; retailers were recruited, vetted and trained; tickets dispensers and lottery terminals were installed at retailers throughout the state.
All the “start-up” preparations culminated on January 12, 1988, when the Florida Lottery began sales of its very first ticket - six days ahead of schedule. The Lottery's first game, the $1 Scratch-Off ticket MILLIONAIRE, was an instant hit. In its first week, the game exceeded $95 million in sales, and the Florida Lottery set a lottery industry record. MILLIONAIRE and the other Scratch-Off games that quickly followed were so successful that - in just 17 days - the Lottery was able to repay the original startup money borrowed from the state's General Revenue Fund, $15.5 million plus interest.
