Where did it go?
Democrat coffers, of course. Expensive keeping a watch on that flag on Mars and buying arms for Al Quaida.

“while Kentucky has invested half of its money in agricultural programs.”
Tobacco subsidies no doubt.

It sure as heck didn’t go for any medical treatments of lung diseases!

There were three lawyers in Ohio that got $96 million apiece.

Probably the same black hole the Lottery money drops into.

there is a deep black hole where all the money goes and no one knows - but wherever it goes it ends up in a lefty's pocket. There absolute geniuses in manipulating slush funds.

—IIRC, in Nevada it went into a scholarship program for students who otherwise (academically) didn’t qualify for “college” educations-—

The only thing I have seen is the lame commercials from some state agency claiming that people smoking in one apartment are affecting people in the apartment next door.

I've recently become interested in "Judicial Revue", a tactic? that can be used by a judge with balls to overturn a whole BUNCH'a stuff ... (at least as much as I understand it at the moment).
The Judiciary, not necessarily the supremes, but ordinary judges, especially fed judges, could be a tremendous influence in returning America to her former self.

“Probably the same black hole the Lottery money drops into.”
That’s EXACTLY what I was thinking and going to post. Here in WA State, IIRC (it’s been years ago)all the extra Lottery money was supposed to go primarily to education, yet we still have initiatives for levies for education on a consistent basis. I suspect that WA isn’t the only state in which that is occurring.

Easy, in Mississippi it was controlled by the former MS AT Mike Moore and he funneled it into the DNC and the NAACP. Millions went into Democrat coffers here.
To: Zuben Elgenubi
How much do ya think the former MS ag gets from his new gig? Think I’ll go fire up a Marlboro light now. Or “Gold” as they are now known.

They did the same here In Michigan. Passed the Lottery claiming it would help the Schools.
So the Lottery Revenue went to the School fund but the state racheted back the money they ponied up. So they still claim a shortfall and local Districts continually go for Property Tax increases.

Sure seems like the breast cancer awareness outfits got a big boost from someone. Maybe it all went there?
