	&lt;p&gt;A new television &lt;a href=&quot;/under_the_dome/1_billion&quot;&gt;ad&lt;/a&gt; produced by the state lottery highlights the &lt;a href=&quot;/under_the_dome/lottery_sales_to_hit_3_billion&quot;&gt;money&lt;/a&gt; the lottery has raised for education programs. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The ad depicts what appears to be a birthday party. A narrator says:&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;blockquote&gt;   &lt;p&gt;Something exciting is happening in North Carolina. Something momentous. Something we couldn&amp;#39;t have done without you. The N.C. Education Lottery has raised over 1 billion in three years, and that&amp;#39;s definitely worth celebrating.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/blockquote&gt; &lt;p&gt;Dome gets a question on this at least once a month, so it&amp;#39;s worth repeating &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nc-educationlottery.org/about_where-the-money-goes.aspx&quot;&gt;where the money goes&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Proceeds — that is the money left over after overhead, the retailer&amp;#39;s cut (7 percent) and prize payouts — goes to four specific educational priorities.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;How the money breaks down after the jump.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Document(s):&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&#039;http://projects.newsobserver.com/sites/projects.newsobserver.com/files/Lottery_money_fy2008.pdf&#039;&gt;Lottery_money_fy2008.pdf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    &lt;div class=&quot;node-blog-teaser-footer&quot;&gt;
