If a worldwide pandemic has taught our society anything, it is the value of access. Access to everything from tissue paper and masks to food or even to bicycles. Items we’ve become accustomed to having easy access to have more recently become quite the commodity. While providing freedom, fun and an activity is at a premium these days, simple pleasures such as riding a bicycle have become a priority and a luxury simultaneously. Whether what’s wanted is a commuter or fitness bike, though, both are in limited supply.

It is these types of community problems that the Arizona Lottery is committed to assisting with. The Arizona Lottery has been raising funds and awareness for causes in need since 1981. Through its diligent efforts, it has generated more than $4.4 billion in net funding in support of programs that help to improve the quality of life for the people in Arizona. This support has impacted programs in higher education, economic development, environmental conservation, and health and human services. And, considering the uncertain times we are living in, these valuable resources have never been as critical for our community as they are right now.
