Special | 7m 30sVideo has Closed Captions
Though scratch-off sales have risen, money directed to help fund education hasn't kept up.

Though scratch-off sales have risen from $2 billion – $3.7 billion last year – more than half of which came from poor communities -- money funneled to help fund education within Florida, has not kept pace. The Sun Sentinel’s Dan Sweeney joins us to share his findings.
