Lottery Revenue Has Increased Over the Past Year; Options Remain to Enhance Transfers

Report 13-02, January 2013




Report Summary

  • Lottery transfers to the Educational Enhancement Trust Fund increased by $130 million in Fiscal Year 2011-12. To maintain and stimulate sales during 2012, the Lottery continued to launch new products and enhance product distribution.
  • Several additional game and product distribution options are available to increase transfers to education. However, some of these options could represent expanded gambling and some could affect revenues from the gaming compact between the State of Florida and the Seminole Tribe of Florida.
  • The Lottery's operating expense rate continues to meet legislative performance standards. To gain an overall perspective on the effectiveness and return on investment of its retailer recruitment methods, the Lottery should annually conduct a recruitment cost-benefit analysis.
