Michigan Lottery: Michigan WinFall, Mega Millions and Fantasy 5

Thirty-one years ago, the Michigan Lottery was created to generate funds to support Michigan’s public school system. In 1972, the Lottery provided almost $37 million for education. This year alone, Lottery contributions to the state School Aid Fund exceeded $586 million! When the Lottery was created, no one could have imagined the phenomenal success it has achieved, nor the record amounts of money it has raised to help educate our families. The increasing revenue the Lottery has generated over the past 31 years to support K-12 public education proves it has remained true to its number one commitment – Michigan’s schoolchildren. The staff of the Michigan Lottery is very proud of both their commitment to Michigan’s schoolchildren and the more than $586 million that was generated for the state School Aid Fund in fiscal year 2003. The money that the Lottery generates each year saves every Michigan taxpayer hundreds of dollars and it provides a tangible benefit for K-12 public education programs statewide. It’s hard not to get excited about Michigan Lottery products when you consider that every decision and action is motivated by such a worthy cause! Each year, the Lottery finds new and innovative ways to attract more and more players, and that hard work is paying off for Lottery retailers and their customers. The more than $1.68 billion in ticket sales in fiscal year 2003, in turn, provided lucky Lottery winners with over $919 million in prizes, and over $121 million was paid out in commissions to the over 9,200 Michigan retailers who sell Lottery products. While only a few lucky Lottery players will ever experience the thrill of becoming an instant multi-millionaire, the children of the Great Lake State hit the jackpot every year thanks to the Michigan Lottery. In its 31-year history, the Michigan Lottery has generated over $11 billion to support public education in Michigan. With a new fiscal year underway, the Lottery is facing ever-increasing competition in the gaming arena and other entertainment venues. This competition is not viewed as an obstacle, but rather as a challenge to be met. Rest assured, the Michigan Lottery is deeply committed to doing whatever it takes to ensure that the maximum amount of revenue is raised for those who benefit most from Lottery ticket sales – Michigan’s schoolchildren.
