Arizona Lottery Marks 45th Anniversary With Preliminary Sales Record Above $1.52 Billion

The Arizona Lottery is marking its 45th anniversary with preliminary unaudited fiscal 2026 sales that exceeded $1.52 billion, a figure the lottery described as a new all-time record.

The milestone was announced as the lottery outlined a broader anniversary program focused on game changes, player-experience improvements and expansion of its retail partnerships. The agency said it plans to modernize how players interact with its products while continuing to develop its retail network.

The anniversary program included a $4.5 million boost to The Pick jackpot for the June 17, 2026, drawing. The lottery also introduced The Pick Plus, Pick 4 and Powerball Double Play in Arizona, while adding a midday drawing to Pick 3.

The upgraded The Pick includes overall odds of 1 in 30 and a built-in multiplier of up to 5X for non-jackpot prizes. The changes form part of the lottery's effort to refresh its draw-game offerings during its anniversary year.

The Arizona Lottery has also described additional changes under consideration for the retail experience. It said it was exploring in-lane sales technology used by European retailers, a move tied to its broader modernization plans.

The lottery's anniversary activities included a promotion connected to Country Cash and a $4.5 million addition to The Pick jackpot. The agency has not provided a separate result or winner detail as part of the anniversary announcement.

The Arizona Lottery said it has generated more than $5.9 billion in net funding for Arizona programs during its 45-year history. It also described itself as a state enterprise with more than $1.5 billion in annual sales and said it was on track for record-breaking returns to Arizona beneficiaries.

The lottery's regulatory history includes proposed Lottery Courier Services rules that the Arizona Lottery website says were terminated. That status provides context for the agency's ongoing discussion of modernization and retail access, but the anniversary announcement did not establish a new courier-services policy.
