The Pennsylvania Lottery was established in 1971 in order to provide property tax breaks for the state senior citizens. After generating $57.7 million in revenue in its first year, it was clear that Pennsylvania residents were hooked on playing great games, winning big prizes and supporting good causes.
Today, proceeds from the Pennsylvania Lottery cover rent rebates, free or reduced-price transit passes, low-cost prescriptions and other valuable services for the elderly residents of the Quaker State. These programs help them stay active and part of their communities whether they're 67 or 107!
