The state lotteries of the USA may generate some of the most exciting jackpot draws out there, but they also make a lot of money that goes towards supporting their local area and its residents – with education topping the bill as one of the main beneficiaries of this kind of funding.
These donations can sometimes fall under the radar, so what good causes do lottery funds go towards in the home states of the Florida Lotto, Hoosier Lottery and New York Lotto?
Florida Lotto
The USA Florida Lotto is famous for making enormous top prizes that lotto fans from all over the world clamour for, but many people may not realise the draw plays an important role in generating finances to support the state’s education.
According to the Florida Lottery, it is the organisation’s mission to maximise funding to enhance public schooling inFlorida.
For the financial year from 2010-2011, the lottery generated more than $1.19 billion to the Educational Enhancement Trust Fund.
This is the ninth time in the 23-year history of the lotto that it has surpassed the $1 billion mark in a single year and since it began, the Florida Lotto’s total contribution to this cause has exceeded $23 billion.
Hoosier Lottery
The Indiana Hoosier Lottery is another draw that does much to support its state.
Indeed, the lotto generated $188 million in net income for the fiscal year of 2011, which was used to lower motor vehicle tax for allIndiana drivers.
Additionally, this money also went to boost the pension funds of those who do essential work in the Indiana community, including teachers, policemen and women and firefighters.
Since it was launched in 1989, the USAHoosier Lottery has produced nearly $4 billion for the citizens of its home state.
New York Lotto
The New York Lotto is also committed to its regional education and the lottery allocates revenue to local school districts, teaching and related facilities.
If the lotto makes more than its budget estimates then the additional finances go into its aid distribution pot.
For the year 2010-11 alone, the New York Lotto gave $2.12 billion to aid state education.

A 50-year-old father from Staten Island has scooped $14 million playing USA New York Lotto this week.
According to New York Daily News, Edward Foti went down to the lottery headquarters on Tuesday (December 20th) to collect his prize where he revealed that he feels “Blessed, especially in these hard times”.
Mr Foti used a Quick Pick random number generator to select the winning numbers on his lottery ticket and has chosen to receive his payout as a lump sum rather an annuity.
But despite this incredible new wealth to play with, the grievance representative has claimed he will not be changing too much, admitting he will be staying in his job and using the money to set his son up for college and care for his mother.
Mr Foti was even laid back when he discovered his good luck, revealing that when he realised he was holding the ticket to a $14 million fortune on his lunch break, he went on eating his sandwich and returned to the office as normal.
Fans of USA New York Lotto may want to try their chances at a Quick Pick number selection at theLotter to be in with a chance of winning the jackpot in the Christmas Eve draw on Saturday (December 24th).
