Page 2 Director’s Message I hope everyone had an enjoyable summer! Now that the new lottery equipment is in place, it’s time for the Lottery to start planning for the launch of a new game, MONOPOLY MILLIONAIRES’ CLUB Lottery Game. The rule adop- tion process will begin soon with expectations to launch MONOPOLY MIL- LIONAIRES’ CLUB Lottery Game on February 1, 2015. MONOPOLY MILLIONAIRES’ CLUB Lottery Game is an entirely different online game than those games currently offered; with multiple million dollar winners and a TV game show. For years, players have been express- ing, “Why does just one person win the huge jackpot? I wish the jackpot could be split up so a large number of people could win at the same time.” MONOPOLY MILLIONAIRES’ CLUB Lottery Game will give the players what they have been asking for by creating tens to hundreds of millionaires when the Top Prize is won. The number ™ of guaranteed $1 million prizes starts at 10, and as the Top Prize con- tinues to roll, the number of guaranteed $1 million prizes will increase MONOPOLY © 2014 Hasbro. All Rights Reserved. Licensed by Hasbro. as well. The cost is $5 per play and drawings are held once per week on Friday night. The game matrix is a 5 out of 52 plus 1 out of 28. The game has 10 prize levels and the overall odds of winning a prize are 1 in 10. The set prize tiers range from $5 to $100,000 and the Top Prize starts at $15 million, caps at $25 million, and boasts odds of 1 in 72.77 million. When the $25 million cap is reached, the number of $1 million Millionaires’ Club prizes significantly increase with each draw. The MONOPOLY MILLIONAIRES’ CLUB Lottery Game weekly television game show, which complements the draw game, will begin airing early 2015. The TV show is based on the iconic MONOPOLY game, which is the best known and most successful brand in gaming. The host of the TV show is actor and comedian, Billy Gardell, star of the hit TV sitcom “Mike and Molly.” With each play that is purchased, players are awarded one Monopoly Property. Players register that ticket online and every time a player completes a Property Set, they receive at least one entry into a drawing for the chance to become a contestant on the television game show. Lottery players that are selected as contestants for the game show will have a chance to be selected as a participant for a chance to win $1 million. Every participating Lottery will have a minimum of three players in each television game show audience and will have a contestant from their state playing on televi- sion in a MONOPOLY mini-game for an opportunity to win $10,000. The proposed administrative rules for MONOPOLY MILLIONAIRES’ CLUB Lottery Game will be available to view on the Lottery’s website at www.lottery.nd.gov/about/laws-and-rules.html. For any of the Lottery’s games, we encourage retailers to utilize the resources of our customer service special- ists, making sure you have the products and point-of-sale material you need to optimize sales. Ask cashiers to actively promote the sale of lottery tickets, not only during special promotions or high jackpots, but throughout the year. Remember to ask players to add Power Play, Megaplier, or Triple Sizzler to their purchase as well as Double Tuesday prizes with a 7 draw 2by2 ticket. The add-on features not only provide the opportunity for players to increase their prizes specific to that game, but also earns you additional sales commission as well as doubling your sales bonus when you sell a winning ticket for applicable high-tier prizes. As always, if you have any comments or suggestions to make the North Dakota Lottery even better, please con- tact your Customer Service Specialist, the Lottery office at 701.328.1574 (local) or toll free at 1.877.635.6886.

    REPORT ON THE NORTH DAKOTA LOTTERY Prepared for Judiciary Committee by Randy Miller Director, North Dakota Lottery April 11, 2012 NORTH DAKOTA LOTTERY 1. Organization On November 5, 2002, North Dakota citizens approved a constitutional amendment by nearly two-thirds majority vote that enabled the state to participate in multi-state lottery games. The 2003 Legislative Assembly passed a law, effective April 4, 2003, that created the North Dakota Lottery as a division within the Office of Attorney General. The law restricts the Lottery to only conduct online games, while the Constitution restricts the Lottery to only conduct multi-state games. In-state lotto games, instant ticket games, video games, and pick 3 or 4 numbers games are prohibited. The Lottery is responsible for administering, regulating, enforcing, and promoting the state’s lottery. The Lottery’s goal is to provide a service to the citizens of North Dakota and, while considering the sensitive nature of the Lottery, promote games, and ensure the integrity, security, and fairness of its operation. To accomplish this, the Lottery must offer attractive games that add value to its product mix, license retailers that are in convenient locations, create effective annual marketing plans, provide quality customer service to retailers and players, and control operating expenses. The Lottery processes license applications and collects application and license fees; selects eligible retailers for licensing; conducts criminal history record and credit checks; launches new games, develops

  • ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation / Thesis
    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation / Thesis: ECONOMIC ANALYSIS OF STATE LOTTERIES IN THE UNITED STATES Ping Zhang, Ph.D., 2004 Dissertation / Thesis Directed By: Professor William N. Evans, Department of Economics Modern lotteries in the United States are run exclusively by state governments. In many cases, states establish separate lottery agencies to administer and promote the games. One statutory duty of many lottery agencies is to maximize the net revenue of the games, hence, all agencies engage in advertising. There is however constant pressure from state legislatures to reduce advertising budgets because of the concerns about the efficacy of advertising in increasing sales, as well as the distaste for the state government’s promotion of lottery. Existing literature suggests that the marginal effectiveness of advertising decreases as the quantity of advertising increases. To provide empirical evidence on whether an additional advertising dollar increases lottery sales, we examine quasi-experiments in three states (Illinois, Washington, and Massachusetts) where advertising budgets of state lotteries were exogenously curtailed by the state legislature. We find that the elasticity of advertising is 0.07-0.16, suggesting that a one-dollar decrease in advertising spending could cost the state government $9-10 of the net revenue at the margin. Contrary to the belief of some legislatures that state lotteries spend too much on advertising, our results suggest that they may advertise too little in terms of maximizing the profit. Out of the thirty-eight states with lotteries, sixteen earmark lottery profits for primary and secondary education. Given the fungibility of money, economists have questioned the effectiveness of the earmarking policies.
