It could also be a smoke screen for where the tax money really goes.
They can put all the lottery "profits" into education and reduce the education dollar amount generated by taxes by the same amount. They can claim all the money went to education, and it did. Then they can spend what remains in the state budget on anything they please.
Buying a lottery ticket thinking you are helping education doesn't make a lot of sense. Buying a lottery ticket thinking you will win make slightly less sense.
The odds are: 1:302,575,350
