NO JACKPOT: State lottery officials estimate that Orange County schools will get about $47 million for their share this year. That may sound like a lot, but it’s $10 million-plus less than last year. . . . “The economy is tight, fewer people are playing,” says lottery spokesman John Schade. Orange County got $160 per student last year. This year: $126.
