It’s not “government money.”

and no reason to put it into the constitution when it can be written into the law.
I would note that the reason it is often earmarked to education is in many cases, that was needed to secure sufficient public support for a Constitutional Amendment to establish the lottery. In Florida, the amendment establishing the lottery likely would have failed, had it not included the provision earmarking the proceeds to education.
In some States that is not the case, in many States it was.
But turning to generalities.
The above text is meant as a STARTING POINT only. If/when a State holds a constitutional convention to establish a new Constitution, it would be very helpful to have a starting point to work from. Obviously, the delegates to the convention are going to make changes. They may remove stuff, add stuff or modify stuff.
By the time the delegates are finished, those provisions might not exist at all or might take a different form entirely.
My proposal is not meant as a final product, merely as a starting point.
