Standardized Recycling Process
As a step toward achieving environmental sustainability, the Missouri Lottery follows a standardized recycling process by recycling the large volumes of cardboard we receive, in an effort to minimize our environmental impact. Each week, Lottery employees gather the cardboard and transport it to New World Recycling to be recycled. We also work with our primary vendor to ensure our products are environmentally friendly and sourced from recycled materials.
Our recycling efforts are led by a former Missouri State Recycling Champion, recognized for outstanding contributions in the areas or waste reduction and recycling.
The State Recycling Champion Award recognizes state agencies and team members for their outstanding contributions in the areas of waste reduction and recycling. The Missouri State Recycling Program partners with state team members and agencies to facilitate strategies for reuse and recycling of state property.
Green Products
The instant lottery tickets manufactured by our primary vendor consist of printing ink and scratch-off coatings that are composed of non-toxic, non-hazardous ingredients, which are compliant with the U.S. Federal Government Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) of 1876 for the protection of human life and the environment.
The paper and card stock used for Scratchers tickets follows the government-regulated standards and guidelines, including those for recycled material, recycled paper and secondary waste materials. Packaging materials used in our vendor's finishing process are 100% recyclable. Our vendor's distribution centers also maintain a variety of recycling efforts.
Digital Playslips
To reduce the use of paper, the Missouri Lottery offers a digital playslip feature, which allows players to use the Missouri Lottery's official mobile app to create a playslip for their favorite Draw Games on their smartphone and save their numbers for future use.
In FY24, Missouri Draw Games players helped the Lottery reduce paper waste by placing approximately 285,000 wagers using digital playslips. The Missouri Lottery continues to track these numbers annually.
