Darlington trustee and current parent Gretchen Corbin, president and CEO of the Georgia Lottery Corp., was recently named to Georgia Trend's 2022 list of 100 Most Influential Georgians.
Her entry reads: ”Under Corbin’s leadership, the Georgia lottery set a new record in 2021, generating more than $1.5 billion for the state’s HOPE scholarship and Pre-K programs. This number breaks last year’s record-setting revenue of $1.24 billion. Corbin credits the sustained growth to increased online lottery options as well as large Mega Millions and Powerball jackpots.”
Corbin joined Darlington's Board of Trustees in May of 2020. She and her husband, David, live in Rome and are the parents of Savannah (’20) and Elsa Quay (’22).
This year's list of 100 Most Influential Georgians also includes Gov. Brian Kemp, producer Tyler Perry, Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger and Atlanta Braves manager Brian Snitker.
