The Nebraska Lottery says it gave out nearly $7 million to various beneficiaries over the past three months.
The lottery says more than $6.7 million collected from scratch ticket and lotto ticket sales was distributed last week. State law requires most of the money to go to education and environmental funds.
The bulk of the money collected in the last quarter — just more than $3 million — went to the Nebraska Environmental Trust Fund. Another $1.3 million went to the Education Innovation Fund, and $1.7 million went to the Nebraska Scholarship Fund. Nearly $675,000 went to the Nebraska State Fair Support and Improvement Fund, and more than $67,000 was given to the Compulsive Gamblers Assistance Fund.
