Only way it will get passed is if politicians can control where money is spent
Very sad
Will go to pet projects and stuff that so many people could not care less about

LoL. Like when LA dedicated ours to education and then immediately slashed other education funding and put that money into the General Fund? Greatest bait and switch of all time. Bastards.

Would like to see states add sports betting .

Yeah but we can even frick up a lottery. No ones gonna play our bobo arse state lottery. I'll still drive to play powerball.

Not yet. Those Poarch creek Indians are a crafty bunch. They'll figure out a way to kill or water this thing down by a ton yet.

That's why it didn't pass last time because the voters new anything going into the general fund is as good as everything else in this state, pissed away. I will be playing though, if it passes.

90% to GF, with the first $100 mil. earmarked for medicade, 10% to education.
1 thing though, the Alabama constitution states that education must have it's own budget, and that budget must be in place before the general fund is allocated. So... either way, the lottery money would go to the GF one way or the other.

Dedicated taxes are a scam that misleads a gullible public. I fell for it for years in Louisiana until I saw that they just gave less funds generally to the dedicated cause, so the money did not add to the program at issue.
If the lottery money is dedicated to education, watch non-dedicated funding of education go elsewhere.
My dad had this figured out from the beginning. I should have trusted him.

It's going to be hysterical when 90% of the winners are Bama football players.
