Georgia uses ALL it’s gambling procees to pay for a FREE college education to any of it’s citizens that wish to pursue college.
The Georgia plan has some merit.
Does a National Lottery, for free college, have any merit?
PS-THE USA has used lotteries before! During the Revolution, the US had a lottery to help pay for the war. Many colonies used lotteries to raise money. AND most of the original 13 states used lotteries. So a national lottery isn’t far fetched! (I love the History Channel).
Yes in Kansas we have 3 casinos, 4 dog tracks, and a state lottery…..we’ll be getting cars soon. lol

I’m with ya.
whether or not it is for a good cause, a lottery is still a tax on the poor. a college education for all should be paid for with a tax on corporate profits.
I love it .. that’s great ! .. The fed should take an equal amount out of the Defense budget to match the proceeds dollar for dollar..
Isn’t education already a lottery?
As long as my tax money does not pay for it, I’m all for it. I have my own to support.
While I agree with the free higher education part, I’m against lotteries in general, as they tend to be a tax on poor people who can least afford it.
