Um, no the goal of state lotteries is money for the state to spend on things that voters would not want to pay taxes for.

Most of the lotteries were started with the promise that they would "fund education" but in reality dollars are fungible. To the extent that they even try to maintain the facade, that's all that it is.

This doesn't matter. It's that they're given for a separate service, vs compulsory extraction. That's the reality.
