The Kansas Lottery is a state agency supervised by the
Executive Director Stephen Durrell and overseen by a five-person Lottery
Commission that consults with and advises the Executive Director.

the state through its lottery games which include $1, $2, $3, $5, $10, $20, and

optional Megaplier, Lotto America, Lucky for Life, Super Kansas Cash, Pick 3
Midday and Evening, 2by2, Keno and Racetrax draw games which are all sold at
over 1,750 retail locations throughout the state of Kansas.
In FY 2022, the Lottery's fiscal year 2022, which ended June
30, 2022, produced nearly $313 million in sales, $ 191,473,867 in game prizes,

jackpot prize of $92,900,000 won on Nov. 19.
Unfortunately, Kansas state law prohibits the sale of
lottery tickets online. You can purchase tickets in person from a licensed

In Kansas, winners have the option to remain anonymous when claiming a prize. This prevents the store that the winning ticket was sold in from being announced until after the prize is claimed for security purposes. The retailer is eligible for a selling bonus for selling the winning ticket.
Powerball, Lotto America and 2by2 are Multi-State Lottery
Association games. Powerball and Lotto America drawings take place in
Tallahassee, Florida. 2by2 drawings take place in Des Moines, Iowa using a
random generator. Mega Million drawings are done in Atlanta, Georgia and Lucky
