Powerball.. Where Does Lottery Revenue Go?

Question

Mass gets 24 million Pennsylvania gets 36 million which leaves 672 million for the other 40 States who sell Powerball. Pa is giving their share to Sr. Citizen programs----- (cough-cough)

Many experts say, that even when lottery money is targeted toward a particular purpose, such as education or environmental protection, it has little or no effect.

There's a lot of worthwhile projects that go on around the country because of the lottery," says Joe Mahoney, a spokesman for the Multi-State Lottery Association, which runs Powerball. Hey Joe are you one of the worthwhile projects? Your salary is?

Pierce's findings are echoed by Dave Clark, a spokesman for the Florida Education Association, a 120,000-member union of education employees.

"We hoped the Florida lottery would be something that would help our schools," Clark says. Instead, "The politicians began to use it for other things."

I believe it can be targeted for something specific or go into the general fund.  I believe each state is different.

Time is now.....Reformers during the early 1990s used referendums to put congressional term limits on the ballot in 24 states. Voters in eight of these states approved the congressional term limits by an average electoral margin of two to one. In the elections of 1994, part of the Republican platform was to pass legislation setting term limits in Congress. After winning the majority, they brought the constitutional amendment to the House floor. The amendment limited members of the Senate to two six-year terms and members of the House to six two-year terms. However, constitutional amendments require a two-thirds majority and the votes to impose term limits on Congress fell short of that number.
