Mifal HaPayis was established in August 1951 to recruit funding for the construction of a hospital in Tel Aviv. At first the project's profits were used only for healthcare applications. Later on, when Mifal HaPayis became a national lottery organization, its support was extended to projects in the fields of education, recreation, and the arts.

Mifal HaPayis supports the establishments of children's clinics, hospitals, sport halls, study rooms and school buildings, youth activity and adult education centers, culture halls, the performing arts, and public parks.
