The Georgia Lottery has hit a historic milestone. With the most recent quarterly transfer of $414.8 million to the State Treasury’s Lottery for Education account, the amount raised by the Georgia Lottery Corporation for education now totals $30.2 billion since its inception in 1993, according to an announcement by Gov. Brian Kemp.
These funds have enabled millions of Georgians to receive essential early learning through the Georgia Pre-K program and provided the opportunity for higher education through the HOPE Scholarship and Grant programs. Because of the Georgia Lottery, more than 2.25 million students have been able to attend colleges through Georgia's HOPE scholarship program; more than 2.2 million four-year-olds have attended Georgia's Prekindergarten Program; and all of Georgia's public schools have benefited from over $1.8 billion in capital outlay, computer and technology upgrades.
