Revenues from the Alberta Lottery Fund make a difference in the lives of all Albertans through allocations to 13 specific ministries in support of public initiatives, and to foundations and grant programs to directly support volunteer and community-based initiatives.

Alberta's lottery revenues are deposited into the Alberta Lottery Fund. These expenditures are approved annually by the Provincial Legislature.

This fund is used to support thousands of worthwhile community initiatives. Health and wellness programs, education, recreation and cultural initiatives are just some of the ways lottery proceeds are used. The following is the list of Alberta Lottery Fund estimates for the 2010/2011 fiscal year.
