北卡罗来纳州彩票创下了销售记录,但由于高额付款和少大赢,向学校寄送的钱较少。 North Carolina’s lottery set a sales record but sent less money to schools due to higher payouts and fewer big wins.

北卡罗来纳州教育彩票公司在2025财政年度创下了65.86亿美元的销售记录,比上一年的54亿美元有所增加,但公立学校的资金却下降到10.5亿至16%的彩票收入,这是三年来最低的,尽管销售额增长了22.5%。 North Carolina’s Education Lottery set a record with $6.586 billion in sales in fiscal year 2025, up from $5.4 billion the prior year, but funding for public schools fell to $1.05 billion—16% of lottery revenue, the lowest in three years—despite a 22.5% sales increase. 下降的原因是玩家出钱更多,大获大奖者少,以及数字即时游戏出钱增加,从而降低了净利润。 The decline is attributed to higher player payouts, fewer large jackpot wins, and increased digital instant game payouts, which reduced net profits. 尽管彩票连续第三年将超过10.8亿美元用于教育,但国家审计师Dave Boliek发起了新的绩效审计,这是2008年以来的第一次审计,令人担心销售额的增加应转化为更多的学校资金。 Although the lottery returned over $1.08 billion to education for the third straight year, State Auditor Dave Boliek launched a new performance audit—the first since 2008—citing concerns that rising sales should translate to more school funding.
