Gayle, to be honest I think that most people who buy the lottery tickets don't give a thought to what the money goes towards....they just hope to be made rich. I don't buy the lottery tickets BECAUSE of some of the very dubious causes that are supported....and I don't mean things like the Community stuff that you are looking to fund.......If you can get the money to benefit local communities then go for it. I am sure there are local people who enjoy these events....they just aren't my cup of tea.
