If I remember rightly, when the lottery was set up it was specifically stated that it would not be used as a substitute for government funding.

If the NHS or education system is lacking in funds then we have a duty to make sure that the government makes up any shortfall without having to rely on funds from the lottery. If the government is using lottery funds to make up funding shortfalls, or is reducing funding thus forcing the lottery to pick up the bill, then it is acting unethically and possibly illegally.
