The Dominica Lotteries Commission (DLC) came into existence as a statutory corporation on 7th February 1994. This gave birth by the coming into effect of the Dominica Lotteries Commission Act No. 10 of the Commonwealth of Dominica. However, even before the advent of the DLC, there existed in Dominica a Management Contract with Apex Services to manage and sell Instant Ticket Games or Scratch Games under the direction of then director Mr. Alvin Knight.
