31 Aug 2005
NORTH CAROLINA – As reported by the North Carolina News & Observer: "North Carolina became the 42st state with a lottery Wednesday when Gov. Mike Easley signed a lottery bill into law.
"At a ceremony with dozens of lawmakers and educators, Easley said the lottery would not be a panacea for education but should provide an additional $500 million annually for schools.
"…Easley said he would lobby the General Assembly next year for passage of a constitutional amendment that would prevent the lottery proceeds from being used for anything but education."
