The lottery's advertising does not say 90% of the money is allocated to go back into the community. It says 90% goes back into the community and then, after the wee asterisk at the bottom, it states briefly that it includes prizes blah, blah, blah, but it is actually not the case that the full 90% goes back even, as I said, to that because it does not go to prizes. It is actually unclaimed. It does not go to good causes and it does not go to retailers. It goes into a separate fund. I am not saying there is anything illegal or untoward in how that is allocated, but it does mean that the advertising is not correct.
