I don't think this is true. Lottery revenue is significantly less than all school funding, so while we nominally send lottery revenue to schools, saying that we do so doesn't really mean anything because money is fungible. Schools could only benefit if they could produce so many innumerate (but moneyed) people that the total revenue of the lottery exceeded their total funding.
