The New York Lottery continues to be touted as North America’s largest and most profitable lottery, contributing $3.8 billion in lottery aid to education for fiscal year 2023-2024 to help support education in New York state.

New York Lottery revenue is distributed to local school districts by the same statutory formula used to distribute other state aid to education.

It takes 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.
