The North Carolina Education Lottery gives a percentage of its revenue to state education every year. In 2021, the lottery raised more than $900 million for education. On a $2 Mega Millions jackpot ticket, that’s about 76 cents per ticket.
Guilford County Schools received more than $33 million in 2021. The money goes toward things like pre-kindergarten, school construction, non-instructional support staff, and scholarships.
