When you play the lottery, all Minnesotans benefit from support for our great outdoors. Lottery dollars support access to natural resources such as Minnesota’s state park system and trails, many of which have benefited from Minnesota Lottery proceeds through the Minnesota Environment and Natural Resources Trust Fund (ENRTF).
