In 1972, the State Lottery Agency was formed
to generate revenue for the support of State gov-
ernment (Chapter 365, Acts of 1972). Establish-
ment of the Agency was contingent upon the
adoption of a constitutional amendment which was
ratified by the voters on November 7, 1972. Ac-
cordingly, the Agency commenced operation on
January 2,1973.

The Agency conducts statewide lotteries for in-
stant, daily, and lotto games, as well as a lotto
subscription game. Revenues from the State Lot-
tery are deposited with General Funds in the State
Treasury

In 1976, the Agency began a pick-your-own
three-digit daily lottery called "The Numbers
Game" and, in 1983, a pick-your-own, four-digit
lottery and a pick-six-out-of-forty Lotto Game. The
Lotto Game was revamped in February 1989 as a
pick-six-out-of-forty-four with set prizes of $5, $50
and $600 for correct picks of three, four, and five
numbers, and with a larger jackpot. Lottery ticket
sales outlets are located in licensed retail establish-
ments, and each location provides How-to-Play
brochures and other game information. Prizes of
$600 or less may be claimed through any of these
sales oudets. Licensed sales outlets sell and cash in
daily lottery tickets through a terminal connected
to a computerized on-line real-time system. Official
winning numbers are drawn on live television. For
"The Numbers Game," they are drawn daily Mon-
day through Saturday; for the four-digit lottery,
Monday through Saturday immediately following
the three-digit drawing; and for the Lotto Game,
Saturday evenings.

The Director of the Agency is appointed by the
Governor with Senate advice and consent. The
Director appoints the Deputy Directors (Code
State Government Article, secs. 9-101 through 9-
125).
