The MLGCA operates the Instant Ticket Lottery Machine (ITLM) program, which benefits Maryland veterans’ organizations.
ITLMs are lottery vending machines with spinning video reel animation. Currently, 92 Veterans’ Posts in Maryland have ITLMs installed in their locations. As of September 26, 2024, the ITLM Program has contributed over $52 million in total profits to the participating Veterans’ Posts since its launch in September 2014.
The program was established by the passage of Senate Bill 1 during the 2012 Second Special Session. To qualify for ITLMs, a veterans’ post must be an approved Lottery retailer and organized as a veterans’ organization as defined by 501(c)(4) or (19) under the Internal Revenue Code. By law, veterans’ organizations located in the following counties do not qualify: Caroline, Cecil, Dorchester, Kent, Queen Anne’s, Somerset, Talbot, Wicomico and Worcester.

What is an Instant Ticket Lottery Machine (ITLM)?
An ITLM is an electronic device that dispenses pre-printed instant scratch tickets and utilizes a touchscreen monitor. The device scans and validates the barcode on the instant ticket as it is dispensed and displays the result of the ticket on the touchscreen monitor. The device accumulates winnings for the player and prints out a voucher at the conclusion of play that can be redeemed for cash or inserted into another ITLM for continued play.
How can the ITLMs help veterans’ organizations?
Veterans’ organizations keep 50% of the net proceeds from the ITLMs.
How much do the ITLMs cost?
There is no cost to veterans’ organizations. All equipment, installation, supplies and training are provided by the MLGCA and its ITLM vendor, Diamond Game.
