How much Georgia spends on scratch-offs each year
These numbers come from the Georgialottery's own yearly reports. "FY" means fiscal year, the lottery's budget year. "Per person" is scratch-off sales divided by everyone who lives in the state (10,940,407 people), not just people who play. Population is from the U.S. Census Bureau, Population Estimates Program (Vintage 2025).
| Year | Scratch-off sales | All lottery sales | Scratch-off % | Per person | Money to the state |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| FY2025 | $3.37B | $6.02B | 56.0% | $308 | $1.47B |
| FY2024 | $3.45B | $6.00B | 57.5% | $316 | $1.49B |
| FY2023 | $3.69B | $6.14B | 60.2% | $338 | $1.52B |
| FY2022 | $3.74B | $5.79B | 64.6% | $342 | $1.47B |
| FY2021 | $4.01B | $6.03B | 66.4% | $366 | $1.54B |
| FY2020 | $3.43B | $4.97B | 68.9% | $313 | $1.24B |
| FY2019 | $3.22B | $4.78B | 67.4% | $294 | $1.21B |
Scratch-off sales went up 4.8% over FY2019 to FY2025. That doesn't account for inflation, and some of the change comes from tickets getting more expensive, not from people buying more of them.

Total sales is the gross ticket-sales line, before the deduction for tickets given away as prizes. Georgia publishes no exact scratcher line item in any year: the only figure available is a sentence in the management discussion, rounded to the nearest million, so treat every scratcher number here as approximate. The FY2022 scratcher level comes from the FY2023 report, because the FY2022 report reprints the prior year's sentence by mistake and gives only a change, not a level. The education transfer includes coin-operated amusement machine proceeds, not ticket sales alone, and is reported on an accrual basis.
What Georgia players bought in FY2025
Sales for every game in the Georgia lottery's FY2025report, biggest first. "Share" is each game's part of the total. Every lottery counts online sales its own way, so we note how each one is counted next to the number. Don’t compare it directly with store sales.
