According to New York Lottery officials, the lottery continues to be North America’s largest and most profitable lottery, contributing $3.38 billion in fiscal year 2019-2020 to help support education in New York State. Officials say New York Lottery revenue is distributed to local school districts by the same statutory formula as used to distribute other state aid to education, taking into account both a school district’s size and its income level. Larger, lower-income school districts receive proportionately larger shares of lottery school funding.
