Goa State Lottery: History, Types of Lotteries and Results

Goa- “The coolest place in India” as the state government website claims, followed the footsteps of other states to approve Goa State lotteries for its people. Goa is one of the 13 states in the country which allow lotteries operation for its people.

The funds collected from the state lotteries are utilised for implementation of various welfare schemes designed especially for the poor and underprivileged and also in the maintenance of nursing homes and asylums in South Goa and North Goa.

A part of the fund is also used to run the Sanjay School for the Special children. It is an effort to join the special children – including the hearing impaired, partially blind, physically handicapped, mentally challenged, etc.  in the mainstream, especially in the education system.
