For the seventh year in a row, the Missouri Lottery has increased its annual transfer of proceeds to the state. Approximately 30 cents of every dollar spent on the Lottery benefits Missouri's public elementary, secondary and higher education programs. The remainder goes back to players as prizes, administrative costs and retailers in the form of commissions, incentives and bonuses.
Strong sales mean more proceeds to Missouri's public education programs.
