State receives $9.7 million in Mississippi Lottery proceeds funds
Mississippi Match 5 Jackpot hit again in Columbus
June 9, 2025 – The Mississippi Lottery Corporation has completed its May transfer to the state, sending $9,727,253.65 directly to the Education Enhancement Fund. This brings the total amount transferred to the State of Mississippi for Fiscal Year 2025 to $103,800,242.17.
Each fiscal year, the first $80 million in net Lottery proceeds benefits Mississippi’s roads and bridges. Once that threshold is met—as it was with the March transfer—any additional proceeds are directed to the EEF, which supports public education across the state. To date in FY25, the EEF has received $23,800,242.17 from the Lottery.
Since Lottery sales began in 2019, the state has received $682,582,905.89 in total proceeds for roads, bridges, and education initiatives
