The Arizona Lottery's mission statement is to support Arizona programs for the public benefit by maximizing revenue in a responsible manner. Arizona became the first state west of the Mississippi River to approve a lottery when the statewide public initiative (Proposition 200) narrowly passed in November 1980. In 2002, a vote to extend the lottery for another ten years was passed, with 73% in favor. In 2010, the Lottery was extended into 2035. The first sale from the Arizona Lottery was 41 years ago on July 1, 1981; the product was an instant scratch ticket called Scratch It Rich. Proceeds from sales of Arizona Lottery tickets, nearly 4millionweekly,fundavarietyofstateprograms.Infiscalyear2016,theArizonaLotterytransferredover4 million weekly, fund a variety of state programs.
