The Multi-State Lottery Association MUSL is a non-profit government benefit voluntary association that is entirely owned and operated by its 39 member lotteries. Each MUSL member lottery offers one or more multi-jurisdictional lottery games administered with the assistance of MUSL. All profits are retained by the individual lotteries and are used to fund projects or purposes approved by their authorizing legislatures. Among the services offered to member and licensee lotteries MUSL conducts drawings; performs game development and research; provides central accounting including multi-jurisdictional prize fund holdings and transfer; and purchases government securities and annuities to fund prize payments.
