In Georgia, lottery proceeds are used to support the HOPE college scholarship program. As elsewhere, the heaviest players of the lottery in Georgia reside in the poorer neighborhoods. I f a poor student qualifies for a need-based federal Pell Grant of as much as $3,300, however, he is disqualified from receiving a HOPE scholarship. Consequently, the principal beneficiaries of the Georgia lottery are the middle and upper middle classes, not the poor. In 1994–95, the average family income of HOPE scholarship recipients was $45,000, or $13,000 more than the state's average household income
This is perfect evidence to backup my point that lotteries do good for American society. Supporting people dealing with poverty and scholarship programs provides that sufficient evidence needed to make that point. This is what I need to find more of.

State lotteries return on average only 40 to 60 percent of the ticket price to the bettors, while by comparison, craps returns 98.6 percent, blackjack returns 99.5 percent, American roulette returns 94.74 percent, slot machines average approximately a 95 percent return, and pari-mutuel sports betting returns 91 percent
Good quote here for my opposition. Using statistical evidence other forms of gambling are more likely to win someone money than the lottery.

This article explains the life of boy who's really good at basketball while he "shoots to the moon" with his dreams trying to play forever essentially. Through rough times in his life and where he is living he's trying to prevail in the end. His persistence and constant hard work brings out his personality and hard work.

This article explains it's possible to create a winning baseball team without spending boat loads of money on players. Especially when a team doesn't have good funds to spend in the first place this might be the only choice they have. And sometimes it not about big name players being on your team, rather like a puzzle pieces coming together to make a picture. This article can demonstrate in professional sports the hard work and dedication can also come from the front office in this case.

Harvard Magazine was that he himself had, for several years, employed graduates of Harvard to make abstruse statistical arguments.
winning in baseball is basically everything other than money. This is a clever strategy

The article explains not just the game of baseball and what goes on it, it goes in detail about how this game is life changing. If baseball is a priority to someone they have to make the necessary sacrifices in order to play at full potential. I can use this article to show how hard work is just scratching the surface of achieving in sports while life choices and sacrifices need to be made as well.

For parents like the Petrees, the challenge is deciding at which point, and to what degree, to commit to a child's baseball career. It's a fundamental question, of course, that can be applied more broadly to all parents who want to see their children thrive

This article explains that Shane Battier has been overlooked his whole basketball career while playing consistently at an all-star level. It didn't matter who he guarded he could be effective and disturb their play. I can use this source to show great people in sports no matter how hard they work can be overlooked

Because of his arm, and because of his team, Jarrod has a list of things that he won't do, or can't do, by decree of his parents, who are usually thinking ahead to the next baseball game. He will not, for example, jump on a trampoline. When his friends from school hold their birthday parties at a rock-climbing facility, Jarrod does not go. He does not play pickup basketball at school, and if it is the week before a tournament, he sits out of gym class. If he goes swimming in the backyard pool, he's careful not to get sunburned or tired out. He is not allowed to skateboard or ride a scooter.
basically he can't have fun times that can be somewhat considered dangerous
