I agree sort of.  But education costs money and the lottery is bullsh*t when
it comes to giving to education.  Daley had it on paper (which is something
most politicians never do) that x amount would go straight into
the education fund.  And there are plenty of educated people (many with
PhD's) who would rather work at a casino table than at McDonalds which
is where they are working now.

3 of my high school teachers quit to become salesmen.  In grade school,
one of my teachers left his teaching position to become the head 
janitor for the same school -- it paid more.

Yeah, it's robbing Peter to pay Paul, but if Paul don't get paid, the
children can't learn.
