I can understand, on some level, not wanting to promote gambling in any form for a variety of ethical and moral reasons. But shutting down the lottery because it's not earning enough money seems like a sure fire way to make sure there's even less money available for education in the short term. I think there's another part of the problem that should be looked at first.

The lottery is really a tax on poor people...
Having said that, does anyone know exactly what percentage of the lottery goes to the winners and what percentage of the lottery actually goes to education?

Lottery is a VOLUNTARY tax. I am all for that.
