Mentoring & Training

The Missouri Lottery has created an organizational culture of development with the support of our employees through an Employee Mentor Program. This program was established to ensure employees take an active role in spreading knowledge and best practices throughout the organization. The mentoring program provides Missouri Lottery employees with career guidance and encouragement through the establishment of formal mentor partnerships.

Since the program began, an average of 33 employees have participated each year. This is equivalent to approximately one out of five current employees.

In addition to internal mentoring, Lottery employees complete training each year to develop our organization further. In FY24, Missouri Lottery employees completed more than 5,903 training hours. That's more than 245 days of training, organization-wide, including annual, mandatory training in responsible gaming.

Fair Employment Practices

The Missouri Lottery has set forth policy and procedures, pertaining to applicants for employment and employees, that are fair practices and in compliance with applicable laws and statutes. The Lottery is an equal opportunity employer. Employees are hired and advanced on the basis of knowledge, skills, and ability and no applicant for employment or employee will be discriminated against in regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, marital status, sexual orientation, veteran status, disability, genetic information or political affiliation.

Code of Conduct

The Missouri Lottery has adopted the State Code of Conduct to provide Lottery employees guidelines for conduct. Executive Orders 92-04 and 18-10 state the Code of Conduct that all employees of the State of Missouri are to follow in executing the responsibilities of their positions. Missouri Lottery employees shall adhere to this code. Employees are also expected to conduct themselves in a professional manner.

I am proud to be part of an agency that makes a difference for Missouri students, and I love selling products that provide entertainment for players while supporting businesses in Missouri. This business is fun and rewarding, and after 27 years, I am still excited to come to work every day to develop new products and promotions to engage with Missouri Lottery players.
