The Development Lotteries Board, also known as DLB, the government's own national lottery organization, was established on January 19th, 1983 with great objectives. During the past 39 years, DLB has been able to present many winners whilst marking many turning points in its journey. DLB, during these years, made a tremendous contribution to the enhancement of the education as well as health sectors, giving a true meaning to the money spent by the people of this country on buying lotteries. In the meantime, it labored to change the lives of people in a more positive way. This institution was established with an investment of Rs. 2.2 million each by the President's Fund and the Mahapola Higher Education Scholarship Trust Fund with the intention of strengthening the financial basis of the President's Fund in accordance with the concept of Mr. Lalith Athulathmudali, when J.R. Jayawardana was the former president. Therefore, DLB still remains as the only public institution that donates the dividends to the President's Fund and Mahapola Higher Education Scholarship Trust Fund. At the commencement, DLB was named as Development Lotteries Center, and then it was transformed into Development Lotteries Trust in 1993. Later, on August 12th 1997, it was again transformed into the Development Lotteries Board by the Development Lotteries Act No. 20 of 1997. (en) |
