In closing, I would like to pay particular tribute t all our sales agencies who have contributed so greatly t the success of the Manitoba Golden Sweepstakes.

JOHNA. STEWAR Directa

On November I, 1972, the Manitoba Lotteries Commission relocated its headquarters from Winnipeg to the new Pro- vincial Government building in Selkirk, Manitoba, about 20 miles north of Winnipeg. The move has given the Manitoba Lotteries Commis- sion much-needed space in air-conditioned quarters with space allocated to the various functions of processing. With the introduction of one draw each month, the element of television was also added to our draws in order to enable many more people throughout the province to witness each event. Television has also served to announce individual winners immediately and, in some cases, win- ners have been telephoned and interviewed on the pro- gram immediately following the draw. The Manitoba Golden Sweepstakes are experiencing steady growth and sales in all three events have increased. Sales are up 14 per cent on the Canadian Curling Cham- pionship; 15 per cent on the Canadian Football Cham- pionship and there were973,226 tickets sold on the running of The Manitoba Derby. I anticipate this growth will con- tinue. The Manitoba Lotteries Commission, always open to new avenues, is currently considering a fourth major event. will I Even if you don't win - you can't lose.

I report that the accounts of The Manitoba Lotteries Commission have been audited under my direction for the fiscal year ended March 31,1973. The audit included a general review of the accounting procedures and such tests of the accounting records and other supporting evidence as were considered necessary in the circumstances.

Message from the Honourable Ren6 Toupin

As I review the work done during the past year by the Manitoba Lotteries Commission, the many organizations whose purposes and initiatives have been furthered by their involvement in lottery ticket sales, and the extensive list of recrea- tional, cultural, and sports activities that have been supported by the lottery revenues, I continue to be pleased that the Government decided to develop a lottery program that enriches the leisure-time opportunities of the people of Manitoba. As a result of the revenues that have been realized from the operations of the Lotteries Commission for 1973/74, the Department of Tourism, Recreation and Cultural Affairs has been able to continue the extensive program of support to communities in the Province for the construct@-n of new recreati9nal- facilities. Support for sports and rec~eation projects has been channelled to a growing list of communitiei~hroughoutManitoba from small communities in the northern areas to the cities, towns and municipal areas in the south. All areas of the province have benefitted from the revenues from lotteries. Assistance has been provided for the constru~tion~~oLcommuni~~enters,arenas, -indoor an_d outdoor swimming pools, track and field facilities, skiareas and many other types of recreatiocal projects. -havxeen-p70v~d;jed to the Manitoba sports-prganiz_atj2_._Sfor the provision of leadership training and for the development .of..te.arhing-ads to develop the recreational _skills of the citizens of the province. During the year, the first Manit_o_baNorthemmes were supported through the revenue derived from the lotteries. Admative assistance to the sports organizations has been provided through the funds made available. These and many other programs that provide for increased opportunities in sports activities are the direct result of Manitobans mutual efforts inthe-lotteries program. The cultural and artistic life of Manitoba has similarly benefitted from lotteries proceeds. Under the program umbrella of Festiv Manitoba, the talents and skills of Manitobans have been given increased opportunity for expression. Residents in all+ areas o the province have been able to benefit from increased variety in their enjoyment of and participation in mu.theatre, crafts. dameand-other forms of culturalactivity. As we move into full-scale operation of the new Western Canadian Lottery, and engage in this co-operative venture with our neighbouring provinces, I am confident that we will continue to derive benefits to all our people. May I take this opportunity of expressing appreciation on behalf of the Government for the work of the board and staff of the Lotteries Commission, and extend best wishes for continued success.

Mrs. Kae Dyck, Vltc-Chairman N~ckYuzark. 111r~cto1 Report from the It is with a great deal of pleasure that I report a most successful year. In fact, 1973-74 has been the most suc- cessful yet for the Manitoba Lotteries Commission. It is gratifying to look back on last year's report which men- tioned that the Commission was entering its third year with confidence and pride. I can now say that the assess- ment was fully justified. As a provincial agency, the Manitoba Lotteries Commission was established to operate lotteries with the resulting revenues used for cultural and recreational projects within Manitoba. A successful year means that there are more funds available to assist communities and , organizations across the province. The Commission has also had the responsibility to encourage the sale of Golden Sweepstakes tickets

Notes to Financial Statements March 31,1975 1. On completion of Series "M" of the Manitoba Golden Sweepstakes lotteries, The Manitoba Lotteries Commission discontinued its Golden Sweepstakes Series. Under a joint agreement with the Provinces of Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia, the Commission commenced participation in an inter-provincial lottery scheme managed by the Western Canada Lottery Foundation. Western Canada Lottery Foundation was incorporated by the four Provinces under the Canada Corporation Act for purposes of carrying on a joint lottery scheme. 2. In accordance with a provision, participants contribute five percent of gross ticket sales to a "Ministerial Special Fund" administered by the Western Canada Lottery Foundation. The "Ministerial Special Fund" is used to provide financial support to national and inter-provincial sporting events as authorized by the Provincial Ministers. 3. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 1975, The Manitoba Lotteries Commission has completed an agreement for participation in the selling of Olympic Lottery tickets.

m- L I THE MANITOBA LOTTERIES COMMISSION

Notes to Financial Statements I March 31, 1976 k- 1. During the preceding fiscal year the Western Canada Lottery Foundation was es- tablished to carry on an interprovincial lottery scheme. During the current year, on completion of Western Lottery Series "/E", the Foundation discontinued the sale of registered lottery tickets and began the sale of bearer tickets.

The operations of The Manitoba Lotteries Commission changed significantly upon the establishment of the Foundation in that the provision for prizes and the major administrative functions formerly carried out by the Commission are now carried out by the Foundation. On completion of Western Lottery Series "AC" and Olympic Lottery Draw "5", which were shown on an accounting basis reflecting lotteries in progress as at the end of the preceding fiscal year, subsequent E- J= operations were of a kind where shopling lotteries in progress would not be meaningful, consequently, this accounting policy was discontinued. As a result of this change in accounting policy the excess of revenues over expenditures for It- the year increased by approximately $100,000.

2. During the year ended March 31, 1976 a non-profit corporation, The Western Lottery - Manitoba Distributor Inc., was established for the purpose of dis- tributing lottery tickets on behalf of the Commission effective with the Western E Lottery Series "762". i= 3. In accordance with a requirement of the Western Canada Lottery Foundation, tickets purchased from the Foundation include a levy of five percent on t-- Western Lottery gross ticket sales for a "Ministerial Special Fund" administered by the Foundation. The "Ministerial Special Fund" is used to provide financial support to national and interprovincial sporting events as authorized by the Provincial Ministers. k- -I__

During the preceding fiscal year the Western Canada Lottery Foundation, on com- pletion of the Western Lottery Series I1AE", discontinued the sale of registered lottery tickets and began the sale of bearer tickets. This change resulted in the discontinuance by the Commission of direct commission payments to selling agencies. Also, during the preceding year a non-profit corporation, The Western Lottery - Manitoba Distributor Inc., was established for the purpose of distri- buting lottery tickets on behalf of the Commission effective with the sale of Western Lottery Series "762".

During the fiscal year ended March 31, 1977 the Western Canada Lottery Foundation discontinued the sale of Western Lottery and Olympic Lottery tickets and entered into an agreement with the Inter-Provincial Lottery Corporation to participate in the sale of Provincial Lottery tickets.

Subsequent to the year end the Commission entered into an agreement with The Western Lottery - Manitoba Distributor Inc., retroactive to January 1, 1977, to sell the Provincial Lottery ticket to the Distributor at a per ticket price that is equal to the per ticket cost to the Commission plus the sum of 15 cents. Prior to January 1, 1977, the Commission had earned approximately 90 cents per ticket. This change in the selling price to the Distributor has resulted in a decrease of approximately $177,000 to the Commission in net ticket revenues during the year under review.

In accordance with a requirement of the Western Canada Lottery Foundation, tickets purchased from the Foundation include a levy of five percent on Western Lottery gross ticket sales for a "Ministerial Special Fund" administered by the Foundation. The "Ministerial Special Fund" is used to provide financial support to national and inter-provincial sporting events as authorized by the Provincial Ministers.

The 1976 comparative figures included in the schedule of net ticket revenues have been restated to reflect the sales of lottery tickets made through the Western Canada Lottery Foundation's mail order operation rather than to reflect the net ticket revenues as miscellaneous income in the statement of revenues and expenditures.
