Voters Approve Extension of Natural Resources Funding

Over 77% of Minnesota voters said 'Yes' to renewing the dedication of MN Lottery funds to the Environment and Natural Resources Trust Fund (ENRTF)! Through this, approximately 40% of net lottery proceeds (or seven cents per dollar spent playing the lottery) will continue being allocated to this fund for the next 25 years.

Since its creation in 1988, the ENRTF has contributed over one billion dollars to support efforts such as the expansion of parks, trails, and other outdoor recreation opportunities, habitat restoration and protection, sustainable resource management, scientific research and technological advancements across a wide range of environmental fields, and more.
