In addition, OMEGA convenience and grocery stores collected $201 million for the West Virginia Lottery through Instant and Online Lottery sales in 2012. OMEGA members are not large out-of-state operations. We're hometown employers and entrepreneurs contributing to our communities. OMEGA members annually provide several college-bound West Virginians with financial scholarships. Members also give their money, time and energy to numerous community-service and non-profit organizations throughout the State. In fact, OMEGA members have contributed more than $2.1 million since 2003 to charities who help West Virginia's children, including Children's Miracle Network, YMCA After School Program, Make-A-Wish Foundation and Children's Home Society of West Virginia.
