The commonwealth banked over three million dollars in casino revenue taxes last month.

That’s according to the Virginia Lottery, which announced the state’s two casinos pulled in nearly 22-and-a-half million dollars in gaming revenue for January.

Of the three-million, thirty-thousand dollars collected, over a million goes toward Virginia’s Regional Improvement Commission. Over 24-thousand is earmarked for the state Problem Gambling Treatment and Support Fund, and another six-thousand is reserved for the Family and Children Trust Fund.

That leaves just short of two-million dollars remaining for general public use.

Virginia already enjoys a budget surplus of nearly two-billion dollars.
