Colorado Lottery
Thank you Colorado Lottery for your support! Every Colorado Lottery game you buy funds the places that help make Colorado such an incredible place to live and play. Since 1983, they have invested more than $3 billion (yep—with a “B”) on protecting Colorado’s wilderness and creating trails, parks, pools, and recreation. As a result, the impact of Lottery dollars can be seen all across the state, in ways both big and small.
