Hi Robert, Thanks for sharing your thoughts. When the lottery was created, it was done so with the understanding that its proceeds would go to benefit education. In general, lotteries are created with the goal of benefiting a cause, whether that be education, the environment, or one of many other worthy causes. While giving folks the opportunity to win the lottery is a big part of our operation, it's also important to remember that we exist to help fund education in our state. Last year over $708 million helped cover pre-k programs, scholarships, transportation, school maintenance, and support staff. But our players still win big. Of every dollar in revenue, 25 cents goes to education, while 64 cents go back to players in the form of prizes.
