Wisconsin Lottery History

The Wisconsin Lottery was authorized by a constitutional amendment passed in 1987, with ticket sales beginning the following year. Initially managed by the Lottery Board, management was transferred to the Wisconsin Department of Revenue in 1996. The state joined the Multi-State Lottery Association (MUSL) in 1989, allowing participation in popular games like Powerball. Since its inception, the lottery has generated billions of dollars, with a significant portion of funds directed toward property tax relief for homeowners.
