In 1972, the General Assembly created the
State Lottery Agency to generate revenue for the
support of State government (Chapter 365, Acts
of 1972). Establishment of the Agency was contin-
gent upon the adoption of a constitutional amend-
ment. The amendment was ratified by the voters
on November 7, 1972, and accordingly the Agen-
cy commenced operation on January 2, 1973.

The Agency conducts statewide lottery opera-
tions for instant, daily, and lotto games, as well as
a lotto subscription game. Lottery ticket sales out-
lets are located in licensed retail establishments,
and each location can provide How-to-Play
brochures and other game information. Prizes of
under $600 may be claimed through any of these
sales outlets. Winning numbers are drawn on tele-
vision.

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.
Licensed sales outlets sell and cash in daily lottery
tickets through a terminal connected to a comput-
erized on-line real-time system. Official winning
numbers are drawn on television. For "The Num-
bers Game," they are drawn daily Monday
through Saturday; for the four-digit lottery, Mon-
day through Saturday immediately following the
three-digit drawing; and for the Lotto Game, Sat-
urday evenings.

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