A portion of the proceeds from the Nebraska Lottery go to support education in our state. These proceeds are directed to various projects as directed by the Nebraska Legislature.
For fiscal years 2024-25 through 2028-29, the proceeds are distributed under the following formula:
The Nebraska Opportunity Grant program receives the largest share of lottery proceeds for education and offers need-based scholarships to Nebraska students. “College costs are the number one reason given by people who don’t attend college or dropout without completing a certificate or a degree, and financial aid is a lifeline for many students,” said Dr. Michael Baumgartner, Executive Director of the Coordinating Commission for Postsecondary Education. “Nebraska Lottery proceeds distributed to the Nebraska Opportunity Grant program have helped hundreds of thousands of Nebraska students pay for their college education over the past three decades, benefitting them, their families, and all Nebraskans.”
Since 1993, over $464 million in proceeds has been distributed for educational projects.
