Georgia voters approved a lottery in November 1992 and
the Georgia Lottery Corp. quickly came into being early the following year with
the Lottery for Education Act. Sales began on June 29, 1993, with two instant
games, Instant Cash and Georgia Millionaire. Two draw games followed in short
order, Cash 3 in August and Lotto Georgia in September. The Georgia Lottery
was an instant success. First-week sales of more than 52 million tickets set a
new opening week lottery sales record of $7.80 per capita. It was able to repay
its startup line of credit within two weeks of launch. After just five months,
the Lottery surpassed its first-year sales goal of $463 million, and ended the
first full year with $1.1 billion in sales. The first-year per capita sales
$164.81 set another new national record, effectively making the Georgia Lottery
the most successful U.S. lottery startup in history. The Lotterys
extensive lineup of current draw games includes Mega Millions, Powerball,
Fantasy 5, Georgia FIVE, Win for Life, Decades of Dollars, KENO!, Cash 3 and
Cash 4. On average some 40 to 45 instant games are on the market at any given
time. The Georgia Lottery was groundbreaking in its beneficiary formula,
being the first lottery created primarily to fund scholarships for college
students. While the HOPE scholarship program has been a resounding success,
Lottery proceeds fund three specific programs for education in the state:
- Tuition grants, scholarships or loans to
undergraduate college students for attendance at eligible Georgia colleges,
universities or technical colleges.
- The Georgia Pre-kindergarten Program for all
four-year-olds.
- Capital outlay projects including computer and
other technological upgrades for schools, technical institutes, colleges and
universities in the state.
