Things I Need to Know About the NYS Lotto

The questions I will need to research in order to adequately answer the question of if the NYS lotto is a harmless way to raise revenues without rasising taxes are:

1. What programs do these revenues go to?
2. Does use of the lottery really result in more organized crime?
3. How much would taxes have to be raised if a NYS lottery didn't exist?
4. How much does the NYS lottery add to the revenues?
5. How does the lottery benefit schools and the education system?
6. Do people get addicted to playing the NYS lotto? If so, is this an unhealthy addiction?
7. What are the the pros and cons of the system behind the NYS lottery?
