Scratch-off games comprise about two-thirds of the Lottery's sales and typically have a higher percentage payout in prizes — and thus transfer a lower percentage to education — than other more profitable games such as Powerball. A 1992 voter-approved amendment to the Missouri Constitution requires all Lottery proceeds not used for prizes or administration expenses to go to public schools and higher education.
