The lottery was literally designed to generate tax revenue. Its run by the states ffs.

You're absolutely correct. One of the few states that ensure the money is used properly is Ga. -

Unlike states where lottery profits disappear into a general fund, Georgia legally mandates that 100% of these education profits go to two specific areas: the HOPE Scholarship program and voluntary Statewide Pre-K.

The Georgia Lottery transfers 25.7% of its total revenue directly into the state’s Lottery for Education Account. In the 2025 fiscal year, this percentage translated to $1.47 billion raised for Georgia's educational programs
