Jackpot Dreams: How the Michigan Lottery is Changing Lives History of the Michigan Lottery The Michigan Lottery was established in 1972 after voters approved a constitutional amendment to allow state-run lottery games. It was created with the goal of generating revenue for the state’s School Aid Fund, which provides financial support for public education in Michigan. The lottery’s first game, the Green Card Game, was launched on November 24, 1972. This instant scratch-off game offered players the chance to win up to $5,000.

Treasurer Marlo M. Oaks, CFA, CAIA announced the Permanent State School Fund, an endowment created at statehood to support public schools, now tops $3.3 billion. Each school year, Utah students receive distributions from the Permanent State School Fund, augmenting tax-funded sources for K-12 schools. As Treasurer Oaks reported last November, public schools will receive a record $106 million distribution from the fund for the upcoming school year. This November, Utahns will vote on a constitutional amendment that would raise the cap on distributions from the Permanent State School Fund from 4% to 5%. If the amendment were in place today, students would have received an estimated $13 million beyond the $106 million in LAND Trust distributions for the upcoming school year. The Raise the Cap Amendment aims to create more balanced distributions for current and future schoolchildren. News Release: https://lnkd.in/gz4Kq9a8
