Below is some info I always find myself fumbling around for in my desk.

Washington Lottery
Created in 1982, the Washington's Lottery was established to generate revenues for state programs through the sale of lottery products (games). Those products, or “games,” as they are more commonly known, range in variety from Scratch tickets, in which players discover if they are an instant winner, to “draw” games in which players wait for the random drawing of numbers to determine if they have won.
