Lottery Turns Record Profit

The Virginia Lottery turned a record profit for the third consecutive year, topping $400 million for the first time since the lottery's inception 16 years ago, officials announced Wednesday.

Penelope W. Kyle, the lottery's executive director, presented a large ceremonial check for $408 million to Gov. Mark R. Warner at a news conference at lottery headquarters.

The Virginia Constitution requires the state to use the money for public schools.
