In my State the lottery funds undergraduate tuition (when I had it it was 100% tuition but now it’s less with another program funding the leftover) and a 4 year old prekindergarten program across the state.

Most state lotteries “fund education” but that’s usually a marketing gimmick. When there are shortfalls they find the money elsewhere and when there’s a surplus it finds it’s way to other things.

You could just as well say the lottery funds bond debt payments and general revenues fund education.

Free tuition and PK4 is great though!
