They always have to put in digs about Texas. Truth doesn’t matter.

I do know the lottery was supposed to aid schools but doesn’t look
like it’s working. Now some want casinos to come in. Schools will still lose.

- History of “Jackpot” Deductions From Reserve Since 4/23/06 -
As of May 6, 2009 - there is no money in reserve. Shortage will be
paid from TLC’s operating acct or the school fund monies.
