Lottery transfers to the Educational Enhancement Trust Fund increased by $71 million in Fiscal Year 2013-14 to $1.495 billion. To increase sales during 2014, 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.

The Lottery's operating expense rate continues to meet legislative performance standards and is the third lowest in the nation.

The Lottery could

• continue its efforts to expand the retailer network;
• continue its efforts to improve its data analysis and reporting capabilities for identifying and investigating potential ticket theft or brokering by retailers, as well as increase the number of retailer locations with player scanners; and
• develop a schedule to regularly assess its overall advertising return to the Educational Enhancement Trust Fund.
