The Iowa Lottery is a government-run organization that was established in 1985 to oversee the sale of lottery tickets in the state of Iowa. Its mission is to generate revenue for the state through the sale of lottery tickets, while also promoting responsible play.

The Iowa Lottery offers a variety of games, including draw games such as Powerball, Mega Millions, and Lucky for Life, as well as instant games and online games. Players can purchase tickets at authorized retailers throughout Iowa or play online through the Iowa Lottery's website. Players must be 18 years or older to participate in the lottery.

Proceeds from the sale of lottery tickets in Iowa go towards a variety of causes, including the state's general fund, the Iowa Veterans Trust Fund, and the Iowa State Fair. In addition to its traditional lottery games, the Iowa Lottery also offers second-chance drawings and other promotions.

The Iowa Lottery is regulated by the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation and is required to follow strict rules and regulations to ensure the integrity and fairness of its games. It is also required to publish information about its operations, including financial reports and data on the distribution of its proceeds.
