WHAT? I thought it was written into the state Constitution in such a way that it absolutely could not be raided to pay for any other projects. Heck, if I recall, the code even sets forth the specificity the items that schools can pay for with lottery proceeds.

This is outrageous. Watch - they’ll find a way to reduce percentage of lottery money going to winners.
