I lived in Fla., GA., and S.C. And each of those states put in lotteries that were going to make millions for the schools. (in South Carolina they actually shut down the billion dollar a year video poker industry there to do the state lottery and lost millions in tax revenue)
The results? Well just like ALL governments do...they all raised spending levels on everything else. And all that lottery money got spent on bullshit that lined the politicians pockets and the schools still sucked.
