More than half of its total sales go to winner payouts; roughly a quarter go to public college tuition programs and scholarships.

EACO Corporation lost its appetite for the buffet business. For a half-dozen years after selling its restaurant operations to pursue a new line of business, the company generated revenues from a handful of rental properties including restaurant and industrial properties.
