State Lotteries: Their Effect on Equal Access to Higher Education
Overview & Synopsis
Many states (18 of 39) use revenue generated by lotteries to help fund higher education. The revenue is generated as a regressive tax disproportionately collected. As such, do state lotteries contribute toward facilitation of equal access to higher education for low-income and minority citizens? Given population trends, college enrollment, and graduation rates, lower income and minority groups do not have proportionate access to postsecondary education for which they help pay through purchasing lottery tickets.
