Governor’s Message

Brad Little

Governor of Idaho

Dear Idahoans,

The Idaho Lottery reached a watershed moment in July 2021 when it returned the largest dividend in its history and eclipsed the $1 billion mark in total dividends returned to the people of Idaho.

Every year, Idaho’s public schools and the state’s permanent buildings are the true winners of the Idaho Lottery. With this year’s dividend, the Idaho Lottery has now returned $1.034 billion to support public education and the State of Idaho’s permanent facilities.

Key to the Idaho Lottery’s success has been its ability to maintain public confidence in the games and advocate for responsible play. For more than three decades, the Lottery has upheld its commitment to operate with the greatest degree of fairness and integrity.

We are proud of the Idaho Lottery’s success and what it means for Idahoans!

Sincerely,

Brad Little

Governor of Idaho
