Where does Lottery money go?Proceeds from the sale of all Colorado Lottery games help support parks, recreation, open space and wildlife in the state. Spillover dollars from one of the Lottery’s three designated funds are earmarked to address health and safety hazards in public schools, as well.
Great Outdoors Colorado (GOCO) Up to 50 percent of all Colorado Lottery revenue goes to a trust fund that supplies dollars for local and state parks, recreation, wildlife, open space and conservation education on a grant basis. Great Outdoors Colorado is capped at $35 million in 1992 dollars, which is approximately $49 million in today’s economy. Overflow dollars from this fund are used to address dangerous conditions in public schools on an emergency basis through the Public School Fund Contingency Reserve. Conservation Trust Fund Forty percent of Lottery proceeds go to the Department of Local Affairs, which distributes the funds to local public agencies that administer parks and recreation services, including cities, counties, and special districts. Where districts and municipalities overlap, the dollars are split between the two entities. The typical annual per capita distribution is between $7 and $9 dollars. In 2004, $9.50 was the per capita distribution. Colorado State Parks The final 10 percent of Lottery proceeds go directly to Colorado State Parks for the development of state parks, and trails of statewide significance. Since the inception of the Lottery, approximately 87 percent of State Parks’ capital construction has come from Lottery proceeds. |
