The North Carolina Education Lottery was created in
August 2005 when the State Lottery Act was signed into law. It established a
nine-member Lottery Commission to initiate, supervise and administer the
lottery. Four instant games were offered when ticket sales began on March 30,
2006. The Lotterys first draw game was Powerball, and sales began on May
30, 2006. It was followed by two North Carolina-only games in October,
Carolina Pick 3 and Carolina Cash 5. Carolina Pick 4 was added in April 2009,
and Mega Millions in January 2010. These five games make up the current draw
offerings. In addition, more than 60 instant games are on the market at any
given time. Lottery proceeds, 100 percent dedicated to education, help pay
for teachers salaries in grades K-3 to keep class size as small as
possible, school construction, need-based college scholarships and financial
aid, and academic pre-kindergarten programs for at-risk four-year-olds.
While lottery funds have always supported specific education initiatives in
all 100 North Carolina counties, changes to the way those funds are allocated
went into effect July 1, 2011. The legislature may now adjust how lottery
dollars are allocated each year in the state budget.
