More than $99.8 million was transferred--- the highest quarterly transfer to date. This transfer brings the tally to date to more than $825 million since the NCEL was started in March 2006. “This is a record transfer to the State Education Lottery Fund,” said Tom Shaheen, NCEL executive director. “All of us here at the lottery are very proud to be raising money for education, and appreciate the support of players and lottery retailers throughout North Carolina.” The NCEL made the electronic transfer to the Office of State Budget and Management (OSBM) to be disbursed to these beneficiary programs: More at Four; class size reduction; school construction; and need-based college scholarships. The Department of Public Instruction will manage the distribution of the funds for all the beneficiary programs except the college scholarships, which will be handled by the North Carolina State Education Assistance Authority.
