History of the Kentucky Lottery

The Kentucky Lottery got its start in November 1988 when a vote showed that citizens were ready to have a state lottery of their own. On December 16th, the laws that created the Commission were approved by Governor Wallace G. Wilkinson.

The first Kentucky Lottery tickets went on sale on April 4th, 1989 and by the end of the day retailers had sold over $5 million in tickets for two instant games. Powerball tickets went on sale in April 1992 after Lotto*America was retired and the state joined Mega Millions in January 2010.

Today, the Kentucky Lottery Commission has raised over $4.1 billion for educational initiatives in the state. Since 1999 alone over $2.2 billion has been allocated to scholarships, tuition grants and college programs across Kentucky. Thanks to lottery players, students from Alexandria to Winchester have been able to stay in-state to fulfill their dreams of earning a higher education.

Kentucky Lottery Keno Rules

Kentucky State Treasurer Todd Hollenbach directed the state lottery board to look into bringing Keno to the Commonwealth. It is estimated that the Commonwealth could see an additional $15 million in revenue from the game for the fiscal year 2014.

Hollenbach, a member of the Kentucky Lottery Corp. board, issued the directive after a report to the board of directors meeting estimated revenue from Keno could more than double the 2014 projection five years later to $31 million in fiscal year 2019.
The lottery board is also considering the implementation of internet sales by 2015. Estimates are that an additional $4.5 million would come into the state treasury that year and would also reach $31 million by fiscal year 2020.
Hollenbach moved at the March board meeting to “direct the staff of the Lottery to undertake all necessary measures required to offer Keno as a new game and Internet-based sales as a new sales medium as expeditiously as reasonably possible.” The motion passed on a unanimous board vote.
In the 13 states where Keno is offered, the game involves players picking from one to 10 numbers, with the lottery drawing 20 numbers every four to five minutes from a field of 80. Players can win anywhere from $1 to $100,000 on a $1 play. Nationally, the majority of Keno retailers tend to be in the hospitality business such as restaurants, bars, bowling alleys and fraternal organizations.
Current Kentucky retailers could have the option of offering Keno as early as January 2014. The lottery board could start with about 450 retailers at its Keno launch.
In late 2011, the U.S. Department of Justice issued an opinion clarifying that Internet wagering within the borders of a state is not prohibited under current Federal law, so long as it is legal within the state and the wager is not on a sporting event. Illinois was the first state to offer sales via the Internet in March 2012. Georgia followed suite in late 2012, and several other states have taken steps to begin sales via the Internet in the near future.
“I anticipate we will start slowly and deliberately down this path, with draw games such as Powerball and Mega Millions,” said KLC president and CEO Arch Gleason. “We would then gradually move to include simulated scratch and instant win games.”
“Based on the experiences in Europe, particularly Great Britain, it’s been demonstrated that this growth in revenues has not been at the expense of the traditional brick and mortar retailers. These traditional location sales have been able to grow at the same time,” said Gleason.
The board also heard lottery sales for the fiscal year remain strong. Vice president of finance Rick Kelley reported sales from July through February were $551.7 million, which was $24.5 million more than last year but $9.6 million less than budgeted. Income before transfer of dividends was $147.1 million, which was $7 million more than last year but $1.5 million less than budgeted.
