History and where the money goes
The Pennsylvania Lottery was created in 1971 under Act 91 and began ticket sales in 1972.
The program started its operations to offer property tax assistance to senior citizens of Pennsylvania and brought in $57.7 million during its inaugural year.
Over time, both the games and the programs funded by the lottery expanded, making Pennsylvania unique as the only US lottery that dedicates all proceeds exclusively to seniors.
The profits from lottery games today support vital community programs that enable senior citizens to maintain their physical activity while receiving necessary assistance in their neighborhoods.
Billions of dollars from ticket sales have enabled the state to support senior programs through fundraising events.

-

Pennsylvania Lottery FAQs
What’s the Pennsylvania Lottery?

It offers multi-state games like Powerball and Mega Millions as well as in-state games such as Pick 2, Pick 3, Pick 4, Pick 5, Match 6, Cash 5, and Treasure Hunt. Proceeds fund senior programs, including property tax relief, prescription assistance, and transportation.
When did the Pennsylvania Lottery start?
The Pennsylvania Lottery was established in 1971 when Act 91 became law. Ticket sales began in March 1972, and the first year generated more than $57 million in revenue. Since then, it has grown into one of the highest-earning lotteries in the United States.
Can an LLC claim lottery winnings in Pennsylvania?
Yes, an LLC can claim lottery winnings in Pennsylvania, but details about the entity and its members will be made public. The Lottery treats LLCs like trusts when paying out prizes. This allows for shared ownership but does not provide full anonymity.
Can a trust accept lottery winnings in Pennsylvania?
Yes, a trust can be used to claim lottery winnings in Pennsylvania. The Lottery will release the trust’s name and details about its beneficiaries or trustees. This can help manage large prizes, but it will not keep winners completely anonymous.
Does Pennsylvania tax lottery winnings?
Yes, Pennsylvania lottery winnings are taxable. The state withholds 3.07% in income tax on prizes over $5,000 in addition to federal withholding. Prizes over $600 also generate a W-2G tax form for reporting.
Can lottery winners remain anonymous in Pennsylvania?
No, winners cannot remain fully anonymous in Pennsylvania. State law requires the release of a winner’s name, city, county, prize amount, and game details. Even if a trust or LLC is used, identifying information about the entity must still be disclosed.
Can you buy lottery tickets online in Pennsylvania?

What happens if I lose my Pennsylvania Lottery ticket?
If you lose your ticket, the prize cannot be claimed because the Lottery considers tickets bearer instruments. Signing the back of your ticket with your name and contact details protects ownership. Without the physical ticket, there is no way to collect a prize.
Are Pennsylvania Lottery rules different if you play online?
To participate in online PA Lottery draws, you need to register a Pennsylvania lottery account on the official website. Other than that, the same rules apply to all lottery games available to Pennsylvania residents.
