The Wolf Administration recognizes the drawings staff at the Pennsylvania Lottery as part of a new Profiles in Service series highlighting the dedication and commitment of state employees to provide quality public services and overcome operational challenges created by the pandemic. When the first cases of COVID-19 reached Pennsylvania in March 2020, this group of six full-time and five part-time employees quickly adapted operations to ensure that the Lottery's daily drawings would continue, as profits from the Lottery support critical programs for older Pennsylvanians."We're very dedicated to the fact that there has to be a drawing every night, because proceeds do help older Pennsylvanians with free rides, meals and all kinds of things that wouldn't have happened if we shut down and didn't do the drawings," said Deb Armstrong, Pennsylvania Lottery drawings official.
