When the lottery was first instituted the plan was for the lottery money to enhance the school funding provided by the state - not replace it.

Governor Bob Martinez and the Florida Legislature established the Florida Lottery with the mission of maximizing revenues for education to allow the people of Florida to benefit from significant additional monies while providing the best lottery games available.
