Mississippi will be in the lottery game by the end of the year.

The Mississippi Lottery Commission announced it plans to start offering lottery scratch-off tickets on Dec. 1. The group said it is also seeking proposals for vendors to offer multi-state games such as Powerball, the Clarion Ledger reported.

The multi-state games could start as soon as 2020.

Mississippi was one of six states that didn’t have a lottery. The state’s change leaves only Alabama, Alaska, Hawaii, Nevada and Utah without a lottery.

Alabama’s Senate approved a lottery in its most recent session but it failed to get a vote in the House. Proceeds from the Alabama lottery would have been used to repay money borrowed by the Alabama Trust Fund and then would have been split between the trust fund and the general fund.

Mississippi’s lottery is expected to generate $40 million in the first year; then $80 million to $100 million a year thereafter. The lottery plan calls for the first $80 million of the proceeds to go towards infrastructure improvements with any revenue above that amount pledged to education.

Mississippi’s law prohibits video lottery terminals, a concession to its coastal casinos.
