Florida Lottery Talks Up Education Benefits
Reginald Dixon, acting secretary of the Florida Lottery, said higher sales meant more money was sent to Florida’s public schools, colleges and universities. In total, $1.21 billion from Scratch-Off game sales was directed to the Florida Educational Enhancement Trust Fund.
“We are extremely proud of our partnership with Scientific Games,” Dixon said. “Our work together continues to achieve high performance for our Scratch-Off games by using data analytics to inform our game portfolio planning and logistics.
“More than breaking a record, our efforts drove higher contribution to education for Florida’s public schools, colleges and universities, as well as the Bright Futures Scholarship Program.”
Angela Goodwin, senior vice president of instant products, Americas, at Scientific Games, added: “We have collaborated closely with the Florida Lottery’s team to drive responsible growth with Scratch-Off games, and our long-time partnership has proven to be highly successful.”
