The NC State Education Lottery is a replacement-fund lottery that is legally established within the state of North Carolina. The following is a collection of emails sent to government officials of NC and a panel discussion on my research and the opinions and emotions and the overall... It's just an awful system. They say that the lottery funds education, but that's hardly the case. This is a system built off of ambiguity. I am posting this because I am not sure of what else I can do. As a high school student, the only thing that I can probably hope to achieve is to raise awareness. Hopefully, that will be enough.
