BE IT RESOLVED THAT this Assembly recommend that the provincial government consider changes to the Lotteries Act and its regulations as they pertain to the video lottery program." In response, the government requested that the Department of Finance review the video lottery program to determine if changes to the Lotteries Act and regulations were required. In order to evaluate the current video lottery program and make recommendations for improvement, it was necessary to look at the evolution of the video lottery program since its beginning and build on the experiences of the various jurisdictions currently involved in video lottery gambling as well as the New Brunswick experience. Based on these learnings, the report recommends changes to the Lotteries Act and its regulations as they pertain to the video lottery program.

  • Oregon State Lottery Director's Paper Video
    OREGON STATE LOTTERY DIRECTOR’S PAPER VIDEO LOTTERY COMPENSATION RATES and RETAILER CONTRACT 2015 JANUARY 29, 2015 I. BACKGROUND On June 28, 2015, the current retailer contracts expire. By this date, the Oregon State Lottery must have in place new retailer contracts to provide for the sale of Lottery products to the public. Without the Lottery’s network of retailers, the Lottery cannot sell its products, either traditional or Video Lottery. Thus the continuation of our contractual relations with our retailers is essential to generating revenue and meeting the Lottery’s constitutional and statutory mandates. II. LEGAL REQUIREMENTS (a) Balance of Goals: The Oregon Lottery Commission is required by law to maximize revenue for the state while providing a reasonable rate of return for the retailers who sell Lottery products on behalf of the Lottery. “In establishing its schedule of payments to contractors, the Oregon State Lottery Commission shall undertake to develop a system that maximizes the net revenue to the state for the public purpose consistent with providing a reasonable rate of return for contractors.” (emphasis added) ORS 461.445 In litigation brought by individuals seeking to maximize Oregon Lottery revenues available for education, the Oregon Supreme Court had the opportunity to interpret this statutory language and provide guidance on how the Oregon Lottery Commission is to accomplish this task. “Under ORS 461‐445, the Lottery is to “undertake to develop a system” that has two goals, viz., ‘maximiz[ing] the net revenue to the state” and “providing a reasonable rate of return” to the retailers. In that context, the 1 outcome—a “system”—is to be the result of a process— “develop[ment]”—by the Lottery that harmonizes two competing goals.

  • Biennium Budget Testimony Fiscal Years 2020 - 2021
    OHIO LOTTERY COMMISSION BIENNIUM BUDGET TESTIMONY FISCAL YEARS 2020 - 2021 Mike DeWine Governor • Provided By: Pat McDonald Director, Ohio Lottery Commission Introduction Chairman Terhar, Vice Chairman Lehner, Ranking Member Fedor and members of the Primary and Secondary Education subcommittee, the Ohio Lottery Commission is pleased to present this fiscally responsible budget request for the next biennium. This request was crafted with careful consideration of the resources necessary to help the Lottery achieve its core mission of maximizing profits for primary, secondary, vocational, and special education in Ohio via the Lottery Profits Education Fund (LPEF). Brief Background Beginning with the first ticket sold in 1974 through the end of the most recent fiscal year, the Lottery has generated more than $25 billion in profit for the state of Ohio. Additionally, the Lottery has awarded over $43.7 billion in prizes since its inception. Today, the Lottery offers draw, instant ticket, monitor and terminal-based games and regulates the Video Lottery Terminal (VLT) games at the seven racetracks throughout Ohio. The Lottery is unique among other state agencies in that it functions like a business—generating profit for the state while providing consumer protections through regulatory oversight and fiscal accountability. As an enterprise fund of the state, the Lottery receives zero General Revenue Fund (GRF) dollars to operate. Operational expenses are approximately 4.5 percent of sales and this has translated into annual profit transfers of over $1 billion to the LPEF in each of the past three fiscal years, including a record profit of $1.087 billion in fiscal year 2018.
