lottery revenue
Gambling ticket proceeds
Lottery revenue is the money generated by government-run lotteries, typically earmarked for public purposes like education, infrastructure, or environmental programs.
States often promote lotteries by highlighting where the proceeds go: Lottery revenue funds our public schools.
