I'm with campguy and FLL. They can say all the money goes to education--but what does that really mean? Money is fungible--it easily moves from one pot into the other. So unless they started a whole new program, and showed annually that the program's budget matched the profits, I don't really believe it. It's really just a tax imposed on the people who play it. Leading to FLL's point...best way to play the lottery is to sit it out...
