About the Lottery: In November of 1986, 64 percent of Kansas voters approved a constitutional amendment authorizing the creation of a state lottery. The Kansas Legislature passed the "Kansas Lottery Act" in 1987, and the Kansas Lottery was established. The mission of the Kansas Lottery is to produce the maximum amount of revenue possible for the State of Kansas while ensuring the integrity of all games.
The Kansas Lottery sells $1, $2, $3, $5, $10, $20 and $30 scratch tickets and $1 and $2 instant pull tab games. In addition, Kansas Lottery players enjoy Powerball, Mega Millions, Lotto America, Lucky for Life, Super Kansas Cash, Pick 3, 2by2, Keno, Racetrax, and Holiday Millionaire Raffle draw games. Kansas Lottery products are sold at approximately 1,750 retail locations.
The Kansas Expanded Lottery Act, enacted in 2007, authorized the Kansas Lottery to be the owner/operator of casino gaming in four Kansas gaming zones. Boot Hill Casino & Resort in Dodge City; Kansas Star Casino in Mulvane; Hollywood Casino at the Kansas Speedway in Kansas City; and the Kansas Crossing Casino and Hotel in Pittsburg.
The Kansas Lottery employs people in many different backgrounds/positions such as marketing, finance, security, sales and IT. The Kansas Lottery is a place where you can dream big. Come and join our winning team!

Failure to carry out duties and responsibilities as a draw official in a timely and accurate fashion has the potential of major negative impact upon the agency. For example: If a winning number is released incorrectly to the general public and media, the Kansas Lottery could be liable to pay prizes for the correct set of winning numbers as well as the incorrect set of winning numbers and could be particularly expensive if an incorrect set of winning numbers hits the jackpot. Such activity has the potential of adversely affect the integrity of the Kansas Lottery, its games, and could result in possible loss of future sales, which, in turn, decreases transfer of revenue from the Kansas Lottery to the State of Kansas.
