Live Minnesota election results: Lottery revenue ballot measure by county

There is a state Constitutional amendment on the ballot for Minnesotans this year asking whether Minnesota should continue to put lottery dollars toward the environment. 

Voters across the state will decide whether the Constitutional amendment, which allocates 40% of the state's lottery revenues into a trust aimed at protecting Minnesota's environment and natural resources, should be renewed for another 25 years. It was first approved in 1988.

What is the ballot question?

On Minnesota’s 2024 ballot, voters are asked the question, "Shall the Minnesota Constitution be amended to protect drinking water sources and the water quality of lakes, rivers, and streams; conserve wildlife habitat and natural areas; improve air quality; and expand access to parks and trails by extending the transfer of proceeds from the state-operated lottery to the environment and natural resources trust fund, and to dedicate the proceeds for these purposes?"

The amendment seeks to codify the use of lottery funds to support its state conservation projects.

Not voting on the measure is counted as a "no" vote.

More information on the ballot question

Voters first approved the measure in 1988, which led to $700 million in funding for 1,700 different projects. 

Without its approval, the authorization is set to expire in 2025.

If the new measure is approved, no less than 40% of the state lottery proceeds will head to the Environment and Natural Resources Trust Fund, and it will extend lottery funding for environmental projects to the end of 2050.
