IV. Executive Director’s Report a. Sales Update b. Marketing Update Fiscal Year 2019 – Final Statement of Operations Executive Director Michael Sweeney began the report by reviewing the final statement of operations for Fiscal Year 2019 (“FY19”) and announced that it continues to be a good story. He reported on record setting net profits of $1.104 billion, as well as record profits in revenues, prizes paid to customers and commissions and bonuses earned by retailers. Recent Editorial - Lottery holds up well to new competition, October 11, 2019 Executive Director Sweeney thanked the Commission as well as the team at the Lottery regarding a recent Mass Live editorial. He stated that it’s not often that a publication cites a governmental agency as being one of the most well-run and successful operations in the Commonwealth. He added that it doesn’t happen by accident, it happens with the leadership of the Commission and Treasurer that allows the Lottery to take some operational risks. This has positioned the Lottery to have this type of success during the last five years. Lottery Sales Update Executive Director Sweeney reported that the overall sales for September 2019 were up $7.6 million in comparison to September 2018. He noted that the estimated September 2019 net profit and prize payout figures do not include accruals for prizes won that have not yet been paid. Due in part to a $15 million increase in overall prizes paid ($303 million in September 2019 as compared to $288 million in September 2018), and a combined $3.9 million decrease in Mega Millions and Powerball sales in September 2019 as compared to September 2018, the estimated net profit for September 2019 was $67.9 million as compared to $77.5 million in September 2018, resulting in an estimated $9.6 million decrease in net profit. The estimated prize payout for September 2019 was 75.52 percent, as compared to 72.91 percent in September 2018. Executive Director Sweeney explained that this was very high and beginning to show the full momentum 3 and manifestation of the constant hitting of the Powerball and Mega Millions jackpot, which will negatively affect the profit margin. He stated that in comparison to instant ticket sales, draw games, particularity these two games, are the higher profit games for the Commonwealth as well as for all lotteries. Executive Director Sweeney reported on the figures for Fiscal Year 2020 (“FY20”). He stated that the FY20 year-to-date net profit and prize payout figures both include accruals for prizes won that have not yet been paid. Due in part to a $14.9 million increase in prizes paid in the first three months of FY20, compared to the first three months of FY19 ($957.1 million in FY20 compared to $942.2 million in FY19), and a combined $18.3 million decrease in Mega Millions and Powerball sales (Mega Millions: $14.6 million decrease, Powerball: $3.7 million decrease) in the first three months of FY20, compared to the first three months of FY19 as a result of smaller jackpots, the estimated year-to-date net profit for the first three months of FY20 is $241.9 million compared to $259.7 million for the first three months of FY19. After adding a 1-day average net profit figure of $2.7 million, due to a shift in the calendar that resulted in 1 less day being included in the net profit figure for the first three months of FY20, the adjusted year- over-year change for the first three months of FY20 versus the first three months of FY19 is an estimated $15.1 million decrease in net profit. The estimated year-to-date prize payout for the first three months of FY20 is 73.96 percent, as compared to 72.81 percent for the first three months of FY19. Instant Ticket sales were up $8.0 million, Keno sales were up $3.2 million, Megabucks Doubler sales were up $227,076 (high jackpot of $5.4 million compared to $2.9 million in September 2018), and Mass Cash sales were up $280,152. Compared to September of 2018, Mega Millions sales were down $2.1 million (high jackpot of $227 million compared to $336 million in September 2018), Powerball sales were down $1.8 million (high jackpot of $80 million compared to $213.4 million in September 2018), All or Nothing sales were down $130,588, Numbers Game sales were down $41,766, and Lucky for Life sales were down at $15,644. Five Year Comparison Chart The prize payout percentage was at 73.9 percent through September. Executive Director Sweeney reported that the prize payout as a percentage of sales tells the entire story. Gross Sales Results Discussing both the Gross Sales Results chart, September FY20 versus FY19 Unadjusted Non-Fiscal Year, and the Year to Date FY20 versus FY19, Executive Director Sweeney reported that sales were up 1.9 percent through September, but heavily weighted down by just about $4 million in negative sales through Mega Millions and Powerball.
