You might occasionally buy a lottery ticket, dreaming of what you'd do with millions, but have you ever wondered where all that money actually goes? It turns out, your dollar does a lot more than just buy a slim chance at a jackpot.
Lotteries like Georgia's are trending because they're a huge, consistent revenue stream for states, often tied to specific public programs.
For example, the Georgia Lottery has generated over $28 billion for education since 1993.
