Is anyone else old enough to remember in the early 1970's when, the state lottery was conceived. At that time we were promised by every supporter, that if the proposal to create a lottery passed at the ballot box, that 100% of the proceeds would go entirely to funding education in Michigan. A lottery, within 10 years of conception, would end the need for any school district millages and higher education scholarships would be readily available to all, Does anyone else remember this ?
My questions are:, Where Is All The Money ? I see billboards claiming jackpots in triple digits but where has the money for education gone? How much of each pot does education actually get ? How much gets skimmed off into other funds? How much goes into alledged Administrative Costs? Can anybody answer this?
Maybe the State Lottery Commission needs auditing and to be publically scrutinized or at least re-structured to put the money back into education where it was orginally destined
