All State lotteries in the United States

In the United States, lotteries are administered by 48 jurisdictions: 45 states plus the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands.

Lotteries are independently governed and managed by each jurisdiction and there is no national lottery organisation. However, state lotteries syndicate games with greater geographical coverage, resulting in larger jackpots. The two main lottery games, Mega Millions and Powerball, are available in almost every jurisdiction where lotteries are organised.

Diversity between states

States vary greatly in size, population, culture and legislation. This allows them to serve as “laboratories of democracy” where different policies and initiatives can be tested.

In other countries, the word “state” may have different meanings, depending on the type of political system. For example, in countries with unitary rather than federal systems, regions typically enjoy less autonomy from the central government.
