History of the Maine Lottery
The Maine State Lottery was created in 1974 following voter approval and legislation sponsored in 1973.
Governor Kenneth M. Curtis conducted the first drawing on June 27, 1974, using a gumball machine to select the winning numbers.
The first game, “Play Me,” sold tickets for 50 cents, and the first prize awarded was $20.
In 1985, Maine partnered with Vermont and New Hampshire to establish the Tri-State Lottery, which allowed the states to share games and prize pools.
This partnership led to the creation of regional favorites such as Megabucks, Pick 3, Pick 4, and Gimme 5.
Maine joined Lotto America in 1990, later transitioning to Powerball when that game replaced Lotto America in 1992.
Tickets for Powerball returned to Maine in 2004, and the state joined Mega Millions in 2010.
In 2024, Cash Pop was added, expanding daily play options.
Over time, the lottery has contributed more than $1.2 billion to the state’s General Fund, which supports education, health services, and environmental programs.
In fiscal year 2023 alone, more than $72 million was transferred to the fund.

Frequently asked questions
Here are answers to some of the most common questions about the Maine State Lottery, from eligibility rules to prize claims.
Can you remain anonymous in Maine lottery?
No, Maine law requires the winner’s name and town of residence to be made public for prizes over $600. However, winners can claim through a trust or legal entity to keep their personal identity more private. In that case, the trust name and details are released instead of the individual’s.
How long do you have to claim a prize in Maine?
You have 365 days from the draw date to claim a prize from the Maine Lottery. For instant tickets, the deadline is one year from the announced end-of-game date. After that period, prizes expire and funds return to the state.
Can you buy Maine online lottery tickets?
No, Maine does not allow online lottery ticket sales. Tickets must be purchased in person at licensed retailers across the state. Subscription services are available for some multi-state games but require in-state purchase.
Where do Maine lottery funds go?
Proceeds from the Maine Lottery go into the state’s General Fund. These funds help support schools, higher education, health services, and environmental programs. Since 1974, the lottery has contributed over $1.2 billion to these initiatives.
What happens if I lose my ticket?
Lottery tickets are bearer instruments, meaning whoever holds the ticket can claim the prize. If your ticket is lost or stolen, the Maine Lottery is not responsible and cannot replace it. To protect yourself, always sign the back of your ticket immediately after purchase.
