## Resource

In 1964, New Hampshire launched the first, state-run lottery with proceeds dedicated to funding education. Currently around half of the states have so-called "education lotteries." In this episode, we examine the morality of state-sponsored gambling and analyze the evidence of whether more money funneled into the education complex equates to improved academic performance.
