    North Carolina (NC) Lottery General Information In August 2005, Gov. Mike Easley signed into law the North Carolina State Lottery Act (H. 1023) and the 2005 Appropriations Act (S. 622) which enacted the North Carolina Education Lottery.

    DA:60PA:16MOZ Rank:55

The North Carolina Education Lottery (NCEL) is run by the government of North Carolina. It was established after GovernorMike Easley signed the North Carolina State Lottery Act[1] and the 2005 Appropriations Act.[2]

North Carolina has one of the United States' youngest lottery systems, having been enacted in 2005.[3] The North Carolina State Lottery Act created the 9-member Lottery commission who was charged with overseeing all aspects of the education lottery.[3] 100% of North Carolina Lottery net proceeds go directly to benefit the state's education, with the current figure sitting at more than $5.5 billion since its inception.[3] By law, lottery funds go to pay for school construction, need-based college financial aid, transportation, salaries for non-instructional support staff, and pre-kindergarten for at-risk four-year-olds.[3] The State Lottery Act outlines how each and every dollar produced by the lottery will be spent.[3] In 2012, the revenue distributions were as follows: 60% was paid out in prizes, 29% was transferred into the education fund, 7% was paid to the retailers who sold lottery tickets, and 4% went to general lottery expenses.[3]

The controversial lottery proposal was approved on August 31, 2005, after then-Lieutenant GovernorBev Perdue cast a tie-breaking vote in the North Carolina Senate.[4]

History[edit]

North Carolina, traditionally associated with the Bible Belt, was the only state on the East Coast without a lottery. The issue divided lawmakers and the public alike. At the time, the opposition of nearly every Republican and a minority of Democratic lawmakers (consisting of progressives)[4] made the passage of a lottery unlikely. These groups denounced the lottery as a regressive tax on the poor.[4] However, on August 30, 2005, two lottery opponents (Harry Brown, R-Jacksonville and John Garwood, R-North Wilkesboro) had excused absences. With this known, a special vote was called, which was 24-24. Lt. Gov. Perdue cast the tiebreaking vote, signaling the way for Gov. Easley to sign it into law. The vote would have been defeated had the absent senators paired their votes.

'Education' Controversy[edit]

In February 2009, to reduce a budget shortfall, Gov. Perdue withheld approximately $88 million to fill shortfalls in the North Carolina budget.[5] Perdue emptied the $50 million lottery reserve, also withholding $38 million allocated for a school construction budget in direct conflict with the mandate of the NCEL.[6] This controversial move by the Governor prompted North Carolina lawmakers on March 10, 2009 to propose a name change to the NCEL, to remove 'Education' from its name.[7]

Proceeds and payouts[edit]

Keno
  • Seven percent is paid to retailers as commission.
  • Fifty percent is paid as winnings to players.
  • Eight percent is cost-of-sales.
  • The remaining 35% goes to education proceeds, broken down as follows:
    • Before any proceeds are paid, 5% of the proceeds (1.75% of the total) goes to the Education Lottery Reserve Fund to be used when lottery proceeds fall short. This fund may not exceed $100 million.
    • Fifty percent of the remainder (16.625% of the total) goes towards the reduction of class sizes.
    • Forty percent of the remainder (13.3% of the total) is used for school construction.
      • Sixty-five percent of the above (8.645% of the total) is distributed based on school enrollment.
      • The remaining 35% (4.655% of the total) is distributed to counties with effective property tax rates above North Carolina's average based on school enrollment.
    • Ten percent of the remainder (3.325% of the total) are distributed for college scholarships, to be used with the federal Pell Grant.

Originally, North Carolina's scratch tickets had an overall payout of 52%, the lowest among scratch tickets then available through US lotteries. While its $1 instant tickets continue to pay out at roughly this level, its newer $2-and-up games now have higher-percentage payouts.

The Lottery has continued to generate controversy among North Carolina constituents upset with teacher layoffs who believed the Lottery should have made up the difference.[8]
