Lottery Division shifts focus from sales to education mission
Director Jeff Perlee says the Lottery Division is transforming from sales pitches to its original education support role. Advertising now shows players in ordinary scenes rather than instant billionaires. Last year 4.09 billion dollars were raised, including 1.52 billion for education and 432 million for administration and retailers. If sales drop by 51 million, the legislature may need to cover the gap. Hayes stresses the agency is a component of education funding, not the sole source.
