  • Pennsylvania Lottery Profit Report
    Pennsylvania Lottery Profit Report As Required by Act 53 of 2008 2013 END OF FISCAL YEAR 2012-13 ANALYSIS The Pennsylvania Lottery set a new sales record for fiscal year 2012-13 of $3.700 billion, surpassing the $3.481 billion record set in fiscal year 2011-12 by $219 million or 6.3 percent. This is the third year in a row that the Lottery has set a record in total sales. The Lottery also achieved record profits of $1.067 billion for fiscal year 2012-13 which represents a $6.5 million or 0.6 percent increase over fiscal year 2011-12 total profits of $1.061 billion. This is the fourth year in a row that the Lottery has seen an increase in total profits. The Pennsylvania Lottery remains the only state lottery that designates all its proceeds to programs that benefit older residents. Since its inception in 1971, the Pennsylvania Lottery has contributed more than $23.7 billion to programs that include property tax and rent rebates; free and reduced-fare transit; the low-cost prescription drug programs PACE and PACENET; long-term living services; and the 52 Area Agencies on Aging, including full- and part-time senior centers throughout the state. As demand for Lottery funding increases, the Lottery must grow profits to satisfy that demand. Key ways to grow sales and profits include growing the Lottery retail network into additional points of distribution and broadening the player base, both concepts discussed herein. Profit can also be maximized when artificial sales barriers are removed, which is the foundation of this profit report and the legislative reprieve from Lottery’s 30 percent profit mandate.
