DC Lottery Makes Winning Move!
Agency relocates operations to new office building in Anacostia
Washington, DC – Effective December 12, 2014, the DC Lottery’s headquarters will relocate to 2235 Shannon
Place, SE. While physically just one block from its current location inside what was formerly a furniture
warehouse on Martin Luther King, Jr. Avenue, SE, the move represents a new age of operations for the 32year old revenue-generating DC Government agency.
The new headquarters will house the agency’s executive and administrative staff as well as consolidate Claim
Center operations which were previously conducted at a separate location within the Frank D. Reeves
Municipal Center on 14th Street in Northwest, DC. The move will not impact services conducted at any of the
agency’s 500 DC Lottery retailers located throughout the District.
“This building signals positive change for the DC Lottery, our players, and the neighborhood,” says DC Lottery
Executive Director Buddy Roogow. “We are invested in this community and welcome the economic
progression that is underway and evidenced by the city’s commitment,” says Roogow.
The 82,000 square-foot office building sits on the site of the former Metropolitan Police Department’s
evidence warehouse. The building, currently in the final construction stages, was the location for Mayor-Elect
Bowser’s transition team announcement made on November 7, 2014.
