WHEN WILL THE PEOPLE OF NC REALIZE THAT THE NC EDUCATUION LOTTERY IS THE BIGGEST RIPOFF OF ALL. RESIDENTS PLAY THESE GAMES OF CHANCE RELIGIOUSLKY AND HAVE SWELLED THE POT TO WELL OVER THE BILLION-DOLLAR MARK AS OF THIS YEAR. SO WHY IS IT THE TV STATIONS CONTINUALLY ASK US TO DONATE SCHOOL SUPPLIES FOR THE SCHOOLS? YOU CANT TELL ME OR MAKE ME UNDERSTAND WHY NOT A DIME OF THAT MONEY CANT BE USEDE TO SUPPLY THOSE NECESSARY TOOLS THAT ARE BEGGED OF TO DONATE EACH YEAR; PEOPLE WAKE UP! ALSO, PART OF THAT MONEY COULD BE USED TO COMPENSATE THE TEACHERS INSTEAD OF THE MASSIVE LAYOFFS THAT HAS OCCURED. BEV PERDUE YOU NEED TO BE BE HUNG BY YOUR HEELS FOR NOT BRINGING THIS AS AN ISSUE OF IMPORTANCE!!!!!!!
