Tennessee is abusing the funds intended for college tuitions

Students enrolled in public or private colleges and universities have the opportunity to have a scholarship . These scholarships are lottery-funded . One such lottery that grants scholarship to students which are qualified high school students , into their pursuit of entering to college level , is the Tennessee Lottery ADDIN EN .CITE TennesseeLottery Tennesseewhere the money goes2007February 42007http /www .tnlottery .com /wheremoneygoes /where_benefits .aspx (Tennessee , 2007 . The operation of the lottery started on January 20 , 2004 . From that date until now the Tennessee lottery had been successful funding the education of the

lucky students across the state . In addition , the Tennessee Lottery fund also covers the pre-kindergarten and after-school programs

It may be important for the students for their college tuition to be paid by the Tennessee Lottery . If would be a great help for them and their family . But there is a requirement to avail the scholarship . An average grade of 3 .0 for graduating high school seniors must have been met for them to get a 3800 worth of scholarship per academic year . A maintaining grade of a B average on their college stay must be satisfied ADDIN EN .CITE CassMichael CassWeighing grades and the lottery2007February 42003http /www .tennessean .com /education /archives /03 /03 .shtml ?Element_ID (Cass 2003

But what we only see is the good side of the story . Most likely to be the Tennessee Lottery really did a great job for the state . The lottery had helped many of the students to enroll in college with the cost being given for free or almost free . And the winner of the lottery , as they say are the students and their families , but that can be the lottery itself for using the funds that must go for the education but rather fall to state taxes

Let us hear the other side of the story . The Tennessee is abusing the funds intended for college tuitions . Here is an example where the money goes that are intended to go to tuition funds . When someone bought a ticket for a lottery , such as the Tennessee Lottery , which in sense said that the funds will go to the education funds , and with an intention of winning , he will voluntarily buy the lottery ticket . There is a court ruling that states that the lottery is not a tax ADDIN EN .CITE ThompsonDianne ThompsonLottery is not a tax but a real benefit2007February 42007http /www .findarticles .com /p /articles /mi_qn4158 /is_ /ai_n (Thompson , 2007

Since buying a lottery ticket , and by selling of any material would be covered by a state tax , then buying a ticket , is like buying a chance of winning , is more likely to be paying a state tax . This is more likely to go to the state funds . That is for the mere reason that the tax paid is under the state tax . It 's like buying a pack of cigarette in a sense that you are paying the same value of tax as buying a Tennessee lottery ticket ADDIN EN .CITE PopeJohn William...
