Lottery dividend for schools set record

July 23, 2013
Idaho Governor Butch Otter announced today that the Idaho Lottery enjoyed record sales in the past year.

"Last week the Lottery staff came to my office and presented me with a check for $48.2 million for Idaho's schools," Otter said. "That's the largest dividend in the Idaho Lottery's 24-year history. It's also an increase of more than 16 percent over last year's total earnings and means the Lottery's beneficiaries all received record amounts."

The Department of Education and the Permanent Building Fund each received over $18 million and the Bond Levy Equalization Fund received over $12 million.
