Fools! Look at any states that have lotteries and see if they are any more fiscally sound at this time than NC.
Lotteries just provide state legislatures with a new pot of money to dole out to constituents to buy votes.
Eventually, even the lottery pot is depleted, yet the new spending programs funded by the lottery never go away. Taxes are just raised to continue funding them.

Budget Ping!
How come these bozos never think to cut programs to solve budget crises?
