Answer this Oklahoma trivia question to receive awesome prizes!

Test your Oklahoma knowledge and win prizes by answering our weekly Tuesday Trivia question. Every week, we’ll choose a winner from the correct respondents to receive a prize—from an Okie sticker to a subscription to Oklahoma Today and more.

With more than a billion dollars up for grabs right now, we thought this week would be a fine time to focus our trivia beams on the Oklahoma Lottery, which began selling tickets in October 2005. Hard to believe the lotto has been going in the Sooner State for almost twenty years now, right?

While many are enamored with the national lotteries, with payouts that start in the millions, but Oklahoma's lottery started with lower-stakes scratchers that sold for $1, $2, and $5. But none of that would have been possible without a vote of the people, who approved a pair of state questions in 2004.

Which state questions were approved to create the Oklahoma Lottery Commission and a lottery trust fund in 2004?
