Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey signed the fiscal year 2025 state budget that includes language legalizing online lottery sales for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Revenue from online lottery sales will support a grant program for early childhood education and care.
“We thank Governor Healey for her support of online Lottery and approving it in the final FY25 budget. This will allow the Lottery to keep pace with its competition and reach newer audiences. We are prepared to implement a safe and reliable iLottery that will produce significant resources for critical childcare services, which are so desperately needed across the state. Thank you to Speaker Ron Mariano, President Karen Spilka, and the Joint Ways and Means Committee for prioritizing this important policy change.

At the same time, the Lottery is unwavering in its commitment to our dedicated retail partners who have helped us become the most successful lottery in the country,” said Mark William Bracken, Executive Director of the Mass Lottery.
