About the Vermont Lottery

The Vermont Lottery made its debut in 1978, introducing the Green Mountain Game. Later that same year, instant tickets were introduced, and in 1980, Pick 3 was introduced as well.

Before July 1998, all profits from ticket sales were channeled into the state's general fund. Since that time, proceeds have been specifically allocated to support state education funding. Vermont collaborates with Maine and New Hampshire in the Tri-State Lottery, jointly operating five games.
