Arizona - Results & Winning Numbers
Arizona was the first state to the west of the Mississippi to approve a lottery in 1980. The Arizona Lottery was officially launched in 1981.
In 2002, a vote to extend the lottery for another 10 years was passed, with 73% in favor. In 2010, the lottery was extended to 2035. Arizona partnered with Powerball in 1994 and Mega Millions followed in 2010.
Powerball and Mega Millions, both multi-state lotteries, are now the most popular games in the state. Players also enjoy The Pick, a state lottery with a jackpot starting at $1 million and $1 tickets. Several smaller jackpot games are on offer as well, including Pick 3, Triple Twist, and Fantasy 5.
The Arizona Lottery contributes millions of dollars from ticket sales to benefit various state projects, including homeless shelters and the state's general fund.
