OUR ORIGIN

In the year of 1971 the honorable Assembly of Risaralda grants the ordinance number 010 of November 19th, in which the creation and operation of the lottery and its charity were approved, and decreed that both entities would form a for profit institution ruled by the legal norms established by its board members.

In the year of 1974 the directive board creation was legalized through the ordinance 001 of October 29th of the same year, ratifying its control over it by the Ministry of public health.

The Departmental charity was structured through the ordinance 033 of December of 1975, to determine its functions and remuneration scales; authorizing the governor to dictate the staff statutes, in doing so, the governor ordered the decree 04438 of August 16th, 1976 in which it was definitely given the character of public establishment with administrative autonomy, its own proprietorship, and legal status. Administrative bodies, functions, patrimony and fiscal controls were appointed, assigning in the decree, the functions of the directive board.

Throughout the mandate of governor Castor Jaramillo Arrubla, the entity was given the legal status through the resolution number 465 of 1967.

The main activities carried out by the Risaralda Charity focused on the administrative management, operation of the Risaralda Lottery, control of permanent gambling (bets) starting in 1982, liquidation and collection of foreign taxes.

From the ordinance Number 004 of July 7th, 1994, it changes its legal nature from a public establishment to a state industrial and commercial enterprise at departmental level, known today as "Loteria de Risaralda".
