My uncle plays at the Mirage, so excess profits benefit a forgotten community (the Seminole tribe) that was historically and brutally marginalized by the privileged ‘society’ whose net effect you are considering.

The lottery proceeds fund public schools.

As with all things: if you ignore all the downsides, yes, the upsides look good.

> The lottery proceeds fund public schools.

Because a corresponding amount of general budget funds were diverted away from schools, the inference is untrue.

The uncle that won $10,000? So that little tidbit wasn't good after all, he was stealing money from a historically marginalized community. And the lotto winner was similarly taking money from public schools.
