It's a pot of money Texas ought to have a piece of, gambling proponents say, to help pay for education

Oh, oh! Like when they promised the lottery would go into the education fund???

All Lotto funds technically do go into education, although that only frees up money to be spend elsewhere. I agree, it's an accounting shill game, and the bottom line is that the cash goes into general revenue for the state.
