We’ve heard you ask: If North Carolina public schools are so strapped for cash, what happens to all that money they get from the NC Education Lottery?
The short answer?
When it comes to how much money our public schools actually get from the lottery, you could call the lottery … kind of scammy.
In a new Billy Ball Explains NC, Cardinal & Pine Senior Newsletter Editor Billy Ball digs into what happens to the billions of dollars North Carolinians spend playing the lottery.
And why—when it comes to public education—the lottery is not all it’s cracked up to be.
Billy Ball Explains NC is a weekly conversation about North Carolina politics, culture, and news, led by Cardinal & Pine Senior Newsletter Editor Billy Ball.
