The Rhode Island Lottery, established in 1974 following a 1973 constitutional amendment, operates as a key state revenue source. It offers popular games including Powerball, Mega Millions, Wild Money, Keno, and scratch tickets, along with online play options. All net proceeds support the state's general fund, primarily funding education and local government services.
The Rhode Island Lottery directs its proceeds to the state's general fund, with the majority supporting public education including K-12 schools, higher education institutions like the University of Rhode Island, and community colleges. Additional funds benefit local municipalities for infrastructure, public safety, and tourism initiatives. Since its inception, the lottery has generated billions in revenue, helping to supplement state budgets without raising taxes, while also contributing to programs for seniors and veterans through targeted allocations.

Learn about your privacy options and legal requirements if you win the lottery in Rhode Island. Understand whether you can remain anonymous and what steps you can take to protect your identity.
Rhode Island requires lottery winners to be publicly identified. Your name, city, and prize amount will typically be disclosed as part of public records.
Rhode Island lottery laws in 2025 mandate public disclosure of winners' full names, hometowns, and prize amounts for all prizes of $10,000 or more, applicable to state games and multi-state lotteries like Powerball and Mega Millions. Winners cannot remain fully anonymous, as the Rhode Island Lottery must release this information to comply with state transparency requirements. However, claimants may use a trust, LLC, or other legal entity to receive the prize, with only the entity's name published publicly, offering substantial privacy shielding from personal identification.
