Since its inception, the DC Lottery has contributed to the district's general fund, which provides for numerous city services, including education, parks, and housing. In the District of Columbia, players must be 18 or older to purchase lottery tickets, but minors may receive lottery tickets and claim prizes if the ticket is a gift.
