1/3 of Lottery winners go Bankrupt.

The advertising plan for Ohio?s SuperLotto game stated that lottery promotions should be timed to coincide with the receipt of "Government benefits, payroll and Social Security payments."

The lowest-income group of Texans, who earn only 2% of the state?s total income, provide 10% of the lottery?s revenue.

Regardless of when or where the lottery operated, the growth of all education spending declined by half once a state put a lottery into effect.
