New Lottery Website Spotlights Education Dollars
The Tennessee Education Lottery Corp. has launched a new website designed to spotlight the programs funded from the $1.77 billion raised since ticket sales began in January 2004.
The website, www.seehowitaddsup.com, offers information about the scholarships and grants available and a county-by-county breakdown of the number of students who benefit.
In an interview with NewsChannel 9's Don Welch, Rebecca Hargrove, president and CEO, said there may be Tennesseans who do not know they're eligible for lottery programs, and she hopes the website "helps accomplish the goal of greater awareness."
Visitors to the site can sign up to join a Twitter feed that will provide facts about Tennessee under the heading of "Learn Something New Every Day." They may also vote for a statewide "Educator of the Month."
Of course NewsChannel 9 is the cooperating Tennessee Lottery sponsor in Chattanooga. You can nominate a Tennessee Educator of the Week by CLICKING HERE.
