Iowa's lottery has been operating since 1985, offering players two draw games including Pick 3 and Pick 4. Beyond the draw games, the lottery provides a variety of scratch-off tickets for those seeking instant-win opportunities. It's a straightforward way for residents to participate in games of chance throughout the state.
Iowa Lottery profits go straight to education, funding public schools, community colleges, and universities across the state. A portion also supports veterans, senior programs, and natural resources projects. Every ticket you buy essentially becomes an investment in Iowa's schools and communities.

Your best bet is visiting any authorized retailer, gas station, or convenience store displaying the official Iowa Lottery sign. These locations stock all current games and let you pick numbers on the spot. Many retailers offer self-service terminals for quick, easy ticket purchases whenever you need them.

Learn about your privacy options and legal requirements if you win the lottery in Iowa. Understand whether you can remain anonymous and what steps you can take to protect your identity.
Iowa requires lottery winners to be publicly identified. Your name, city, and prize amount will typically be disclosed as part of public records.
Iowa lottery winners can't stay anonymous. Your name becomes public record. But here's the thing: you can claim through a trust or LLC instead of personally. This setup lets you keep your identity somewhat shielded from the general public, though the state still knows who you really are. It's a workaround that provides practical privacy without letting you disappear completely. The implications matter. You won't face constant solicitation from strangers if your name doesn't hit the news cycle quite so directly. Your trust claims the ticket, files the paperwork, and collects the prize. The financial details stay accessible to those who dig hard enough, but casual folks won't connect you to the jackpot. One exception exists: if lottery officials suspect fraud or illegal activity, anonymity through business entities won't protect you. They can pierce that veil pretty quickly. Otherwise, trusts and LLCs give winners reasonable breathing room without breaking Iowa's transparency requirements.
