That's because more people are desperate, and desperate people gamble. Way to balance things on the backs of the downtrodden.
Now THIS is something we can build on. Give people benefits, far exceeding their need... allow them to "cash out" their extra FREE money, and spend it on lotto. GENIUS.
And by "general fund" and "trust fund for education", they mean trips, dining and hookers/blow.
