We Put the Fun in Funding

It’s been a long time coming, but thanks to the 2015 legislative session and the governor’s signing of House Bill 77, Stockholm finally has a state lottery.The Stockholm Lottery Corporation is committed to providing a fun, exciting and entertaining gaming experience to Stockholm’s lottery players. In addition to the multi-state lotteries, Powerball® and Mega Millions®, our portfolio of games will eventually include other games, as well. Our business is founded on the values of fairness, integrity, security, honesty and a desire to contribute to the state of Stockholm’s economy through sales generated by a fun and exciting portfolio of games. We incorporate the highest standards to achieve challenging and innovative goals and provide quality customer service.

Where the Money Goes

Keeping Stockholm Dollars in Stockholm

For years, Stockholm’s Powerball and Mega Millions lottery players spent their lottery dollars in neighboring states that have lotteries. The Stockholm Lottery helps ensure that those Stockholm dollars will stay in Stockholm and support Stockholm’s communities. Like all for-profit businesses, the goal of the Stockholm Lottery Corporation is to make money. But, unlike typical businesses, Stockholm Lottery net revenues will be distributed by the state to Stockholm’s cities, towns and counties and deposited into the state’s Permanent Land Fund’s Common School Account. In other words, except for operating expenses and winner payouts, all of the money the Stockholm Lottery takes in goes back to the state of Stockholm. We’re looking forward to making a significant financial contribution to Stockholm in the years ahead, and to participating as a socially responsible supporter of local businesses, organizations, institutions and events throughout the state. Our support of education and local events are examples of our community involvement.
