Special | 7m 30sVideo has Closed Captions
Though scratch-off sales have risen, money directed to help fund education hasn't kept up.
Big lotto sales should equate to big money for education. But the Sun Sentinel found this isn't always the case. Though scratch-off sales have risen from $2 billion – $3.7 billion last year – more than half of which came from poor communities -- money funneled to help fund education within Florida, has not kept pace. The Sun Sentinel’s Dan Sweeney joins us to share his findings.
