State Lottery
Billions of dollars are gained from lottery ticket sales. Also half the money gained is used for state funding. Money schools need, but cannot receive, they can get from money gained in lottery ticket sales. Some states also have a program where money gain from lottery ticket sales will help send kids to college. Over 850,000 students have been sent to college through this program and about $3 billion has been spent since the program began in the 1990s. The lottery supports schools and state programs. It 's good it also helps kids pay for college because not everyone can pay for college. It 's also good half the money spent on the lottery goes to helping the community.

The lottery is worth it because you can win money, but if you don’t you are still giving money to the state which helps with schools. Although you are playing the lottery, there is a big chance you won 't win. “The odds of winning the lottery are 1 in 175 million”. Also the money isn 't always used for schools. Some of the money is spent on other city projects. (Worth) Personally I wouldn 't play the lottery. I wouldn 't play the lottery because I think its a waste of my money. I probably wouldn 't win so what 's the point of me playing. (Steinberg). I would buy probably 5 just to play and who knows, maybe I could win. I 'm not lucky so I wouldn 't buy constant tickets because the chances of me winning are very slim. Lottery tickets cost $1 which is not a lot for some, but it can add up.
