Should states use lotteries to raise money?

Yes, This would be a positive thing for a state because as long as someone handles the money in a certain place then we could use so much of that for our schools, and help charities and what not.
Example: California starts using the Lottery to make money for the School board and for the homeless; This would create better schooling materials for our students and also would help the homeless with better places to sleep at night and save deaths of many.
