In 2013 alone, the state added $227.6 million to their coffers from ticket sales. Can't find the numbers for 2014, but it's been growing every year.

Very little goes toward education, which might help explain why folks here elect Repubs year after year. The biggest percentage goes to Build Indiana Fund, which mostly benefits pork barrel projects.
