I was a teenager when they finally passed the law that allowed a lottery in my state. They sold it as being something that would help the school because they would use the proceeds from the lottery to help fund the schools.

Now they run commercials that show what the lottery money is doing and it includes things like helping a dying business expand, training workers for new jobs and building some trail in the forest. A bunch of stuff that has nothing to do with schools. Meanwhile half the schools in my state can't get the voters to pass their budgets.
