Alabama - Results & Winning Numbers

Alabama does not currently have a lottery. However, state legislators are trying to move forward a proposal that would establish lottery and casino gambling across the state.

Recently, state senators proposed legislation to allow a lottery. The proposal included establishing a gaming commission to oversee the lottery, casinos, sports betting, and bingo. If passed, the new Alabama Education Lottery would have offered scratch-off games, daily draws like Pick-3 and Pick-4, and popular multi-state lotteries like Powerball and Mega Millions. Lottery tickets would have been available to state residents aged 21 and over. Players would have been able to buy tickets from a statewide network of lottery retailers, which would receive a 6% commission on ticket sales.

The Legislative Services Agency estimated that the gambling expansion could raise $500 million to $700 million a year in tax revenue. The bill proposed to spend this income on education, including pre-kindergarten programs and college scholarships.

By the end of the legislative session in May, state officials had not passed the measure. That means the proposal won’t go through unless there is a special session called to discuss it. For now, Alabama remains without a lottery.
