Where does the average come from?
The Georgia Lottery's FY2026 financial statements report net daily revenue of $108.34 per machine, up from $105.47 the year before (GLC FY2026 financial statements). Net revenue is what's left after prizes. By law, 43.5 percent of net receipts goes to the location, 43.5 percent to the master licensee and 13 percent to the Georgia Lottery (Lottery for Education Act).
That average covers tens of thousands of machines (GLC licensing totals). It tells you what's typical across Georgia, not what your location will do.

Why would my results differ?
- Traffic. Machines depend on people already in the building, and a busy store and a quiet one won't look alike.
- Hours. A location open late has more time for play than one that closes at 5.
- Machine count. More machines add capacity, but they don't always add revenue in the same proportion.
- Location. Local caps and competition nearby both matter.
The 50% rule can also limit how much machine revenue makes sense for your business. Try the 50% rule checker.
Why do some websites quote much lower figures?
Usually for one of three reasons. Some use old data from a year when averages were lower. Some quote a share per machine while others quote total net revenue, which is more than twice as large. And some mix up gross, meaning the money going in, with net, meaning what's left after prizes. When you compare figures, ask what year they come from, whether they're gross or net, and whose share they show.
