NASHVILLE - Tennessee lottery officials say they are turning over a record $288.8 million to the state from the past fiscal year.
It's 3.9 percent more than last year.
Gross sales for the fiscal year, which ended June 30, also set a record: $1.14 billion.
Lottery proceeds support education in the state, including awards to college students and after-school programs.
Lottery officials said Friday the games have generated more than $1.7 billion since the lottery began in January 2004.
Rebecca Hargrove, president and CEO of the Tennessee lottery, said the games "continue to be a vital source of funding for education."
