I think we spend lottery money on education here also and many of the school systems are still a shambles. Parents are not held accountable and money keeps being poured in.
Parents who don't have time to help their child learn their letter sounds have more than enough time and money to buy lottery tickets! I'm talking about the easy mark for the lottery system - poor and uneducated people.

Sad isn't it? I have no qualms with those who spend their money on lottery tickets. My argument is with the politicians who sell the idea by promising the money will fund education and then use it to supplant, not add to, funds already being spent for schools.
