Who runs Washington's Lottery?

Washington's Lottery is a state agency with approximately 144 employees involved in financial, operational, sales and marketing, legal, security, and other key day-to-day functions. Lottery is run by an Executive Team guiding the tactical and strategic direction of organization. The Lottery is overseen by a five-person Lottery Commission whose powers are to establish and approve sound operating practices.

The Commission members do not work at the Lottery, but have other full-time occupations. Each Commission member attends important Lottery Commission meetings every other month and stays in close contact with the director of the Lottery to participate fully in major Lottery issues. Commission members are appointed to a six-year term by the Governor and approved by the state Senate.

Where do Lottery proceeds go?

Lottery proceeds benefit the Washington Opportunity Pathways Account (WOPA). The majority of Lottery money going to WOPA is dedicated to programs such as the Washington College Grant (formerly known as the State Need Grant), the College Bound Scholarship program, the State Work Study program and Early Childhood Education and Assistance Program.  Once the required contribution is made to WOPA, remaining Lottery money goes to the, the Economic Development Reserve Account, the Problem Gambling Account, and the Stadium and Exhibition Center.

Wasn't the Lottery supposed to pay for schools?

Many Washington State Residents believe Washington’s Lottery was approved by the Legislature with the intent that Lottery revenues be dedicated to schools or education programs solely. While this perception is understandable given the history of lottery legislation introduced in the 1970s and early 1980s, the reality is quite different.

Lottery dollars are a small but important portion of the total funding for education. To learn more about Lottery dollars for education, and how education is funded in our state, visit the Beneficiaries section of our website.
