The main reason the Lottery
exists is to help pay some of th $8
billion it costs to operate the tate'
K-12 public education program
each year.
Most of the education money,
about 53%, comes from prop tty
taxes from within the schoo
districts.
If it w n n t for th Lottery; the
av rag Michi an hou ehold would
hay had to pay $142 mor in taxes
la t y ar to ffnan the co t of
pu lie educati n.
In fiscal year 1990, the Michigan
Lottery provided 18% of what the
state spent on public schools.
