Suppose that instead of simply spending lottery money on "education" the state instead encouraged citizens to invest money in Education Savings Accounts or trust funds aimed at providing college scholarships. These programs earn compound interest (often tax-free if spent on college tuition), and can be very lucrative investments that are more stable sources of funding than lottery ticket sales. The table below illustrates just how powerful compound interest can be when applied to paying for education.
