I lump the lottery in with slot machines. Does anyone see any improvement in their schools due to lottery proceeds? No, the money just goes in the general fund, no matter what the pols tell you.
The dirty little secret about slot machines and the lottery are that they are huge tax revenues gained from the spending of low-income people. They should know better, but they don't.
