See how your play positively impacts your county

Thanks to you, more than $1 billion went towards education programs in each of our 100 counties last year.

Where does this money go, you ask? Click here to discover the impact your play makes on students across the state. You can also find out how much money your county received, and how local programs benefited.

Want to know:

  • How much money helped to build and renovate schools near you?
  • How many scholarships were awarded to students in your county to help pay for college?
  • How many four-year-olds attended local academic preschool for free?
  • How your schools got help paying for school staff and transportation?

You’re only a few clicks away. Visit our education page for all this information and more. Simply scroll down to the North Carolina map and pick your county from the map or drop-down menu to reveal your county’s benefits.

You can also find this information anywhere you buy your lottery tickets. Visit your local retailer and pick up a brochure on the “big wins” for education in your county last year.

A story unfolds with every dollar we raise: a story representing a new classroom, a school staff member, a preschooler, or a first-generation college student.

Do you have a personal example of lottery funds helping schools or students in your community? Tell your story or nominate someone for the chance to earn $2,000. Your experience could be featured in our Moving NC Students Forward TV campaign.

Thank you for playing the lottery and raising money to move our students forward.

FRAUD IS IN THE LOTTERY TOO I DIDN'T KNOW THAT

Fraud in the name of charity is still fraud. It's one of the worst kinds of fraud. Also, your website is still broken. Please fix your fraudulent system and fix your website. The public is waiting.NC Lottery
