I must admit when the Lottery first started up and they said the money would fund worthy causes, I thought they meant such as Cancer Research and other such really worthy causes.

Instead it is used on 'art'. Cancer Research etc. still have to go on the T.V. with their begging bowl.

Maybe I had my priorities wrong?
