THANK YOU, GEORGIA! Every time you play the Lottery, you're helping our kids get one step closer to their dreams. For over 30 years, the Georgia Lottery has contributed more than $28.7 billion to education. On top of that, over 2.1 million HOPE scholars have gone to college, and more than 2.2 million four-year-olds have attended a Lottery-funded Pre-K Program. That's a lot of students, so we'll just say " Thank You, Georgia! " for all of them.
