The Nebraska Lottery is run by the government of Nebraska. It was established by the state legislature in 1993. It is a member of the Multi-State Lottery Association (MUSL). Its games include Mega Millions, Powerball, 2by2, Nebraska Pick 5, Pick 3, and MyDaY. The minimum age to purchase Nebraska Lottery tickets is 19.[1] Elsewhere in the United States, the minimum age to buy lottery tickets is either 18 or 21.
Except for Powerball, whose winning numbers are drawn with numbered balls in Tallahassee, Florida, and Mega Millions in Atlanta, Georgia, Nebraska Lottery games are drawn by a random number generator (RNG). (Mega Millions uses an RNG to determine its Megaplier.) The keno games available in Nebraska are municipal lotteries; these predate the Nebraska Lottery.
