About the North Dakota Lottery
After the passage of a constitutional amendment allowing a state lottery, the North Dakota Lottery started selling tickets in 2004.
North Dakota only offers multi-state draw games. Powerball tickets first went on sale in 2004, with Mega Millions following in January 2010. For every dollar raised in lottery ticket sales, 22 cents go to the state’s general fund, which is used to support a variety of state programs.
Players must be 18 or older to purchase lottery tickets and claim winnings in the state of North Dakota.
