oklahoma lottery

     

The Oklahoma Lottery is one of the newest state lotteries create in the United States. In 2003 the Oklahoma legislature passed legislation allowing the proposal of a lottery to go before a vote of the people. Two state questions (705 and 706) were placed on the general election ballot in 2004. Those state questions would set up the lottery commission and create a lottery trust fund. The Oklahoma Lottery was approved by the vote of the people in 2004 by rather large margins. The Oklahoma Lottery is a member of the Multi-State Lottery Association (MUSL). On October 12, 2005 scratchers went on sale. On November 10, 2005 Pick 3 was started. Powerball came to Oklahoma on January 12, 2006. Jim Scroggins is the current director.
