(STAFFORD TOWNSHIP, NJ) -- New Jersey Lottery winners get a moment in the spotlight, but countless residents statewide benefit from the revenue of each drawing. Find out “Where The Money Goes,” a Friends Adventure at the Ocean County Library Stafford Branch on Thursday, March 2. The event begins at 10:00am.
New Jersey Lottery Public Information Officer Mary Ann Rivell and Jerry Guarino, Special Assistant to New Jersey Lottery Executive Director Jim Carey, will spin some amusing anecdotes about Lottery games, winners, and retailers during their presentation.
They’ll illustrate how Lottery-generated revenue supports the State’s obligations to education and institutions, eligible pensions for New Jersey teachers, police, and fire personnel, and the workers who keep New Jersey’s state agencies and departments running. A question-and-answer session will follow the PowerPoint presentation.
Mary Ann Rivell manages the Lottery’s Responsible Play Program and occupies a seat on the Board of Directors of the Council on Compulsive Gambling of New Jersey, Inc.
