Still, the Arkansas Scholarship Lottery saw sales exceeding $464.0 million for fiscal year 2010-2011. At a time when tuition costs continue to rise and financial insecurities trouble many Arkansans, it is more im- portant than ever for the Lottery to maximize dollars for education. This year, your Lottery transferred over $94 million to the Arkansas Department of Higher Education. By the end of fiscal year 2010-2011, the Lottery had raised more than $177 million for college scholarships and had sold more than $847.7 million in lottery products since inception.
