history

Lotto Rhineland-Palatinate was founded on November 20, 1948 in a restaurant in Mainz-Gonsenheim by the sports and football associations in the state as "Sport-Toto GmbH". Their goal was to use gambling to get the sport back on its feet after World War II. Initially, only the Toto sports bet was started, followed by the introduction of Lotto 6 out of 49 in 1956 . Then came the Glücksspirale (1970), the scratch card (1981), the ODDSET Sportwette (1999), Keno (2004) and Eurojackpot (2012). The State Treaty, which has been in force since 2008, meant that 51% of the company was taken over by the State of Rhineland-Palatinate. With this, the gaming monopoly was extended until 2011 according to a requirement of the EU .

By January 2009, 330 people from Rhineland-Palatinate had become lottery millionaires. From 1948 to 2014, Lotto Rheinland-Pfalz had a turnover of 13.9 billion euros and made almost 6 billion euros available for charitable purposes.
