Lottery Act

The Kansas Lottery Act was passed into law by the Kansas Legislature in 1987, and is contained in K.S.A. 74-8701 through K.S.A. 74-8732. The Lottery Act establishes the state-owned and operated Kansas Lottery, and sets certain parameters for organization and operation of the Lottery. Distribution of all revenue from the Kansas Lottery is also directed by the Legislature pursuant to K.S.A. 79-4801 through K.S.A. 79-4806. In addition to the Act itself, individual game and promotion rules are set forth in temporary administrative regulations passed by the Kansas Lottery Commission at their periodic meetings (usually monthly).
