Lotteries in the United States

Powerball logo

Lotteries in the United States are run by individual jurisdictions. As of 2008, a total of 43 states have amended or re-written their constitutions to allow for a legal lottery. (Additionally, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the US Virgin Islands each operate a lottery.)

In the U.S., the existence of lotteries is subject to the laws of each jurisdiction; there is no national lottery.

Interstate lotteries are also referred to as multistate lotteries or multistate games.
