Colorado Lotteries

The Colorado Lottery is a lottery run by the state of Colorado that offers a variety of games, including Powerball, Mega Millions, Lotto, Cash 5, Pick 3, and Scratch. These games are drawn at different times and have different rules, but all of them involve selecting numbers and trying to match them with the numbers drawn in order to win prizes.

The Colorado Lottery was established in 1983 with the goal of generating revenue for conservation and outdoor recreation initiatives in the state. All proceeds from the lottery go towards funding these initiatives, including the Colorado State Parks, the Great Outdoors Colorado Trust Fund, and the Conservation Trust Fund.

In addition to the main lottery games, the Colorado Lottery also offers scratch-off games and other instant win games. These games can be purchased at authorized retailers throughout the state and offer the chance to win smaller prizes on the spot.

To play the Colorado Lottery, you must be at least 18 years old and purchase your ticket from a licensed retailer. You can choose your own numbers or opt for a "quick pick," which generates a random set of numbers for you. You can enter multiple drawings by purchasing a multi-draw package or by buying a subscription for certain games.

If you win a prize in the Colorado Lottery, you will need to claim it within the time frame specified by the state. Prizes must be claimed in the state in which the ticket was purchased, and there are different claim periods for different prize levels.
