2006 Senate Bill 1208 ↩

House Roll Call 1392: Passed

To postpone until 2012 a requirement that no more and no less than 45 percent of lottery ticket sale revenue be paid out in prizes. According to a 2002 Senate Fiscal Agency analysis, approximately 54 percent of ticket sale revenue is distributed for prizes. The record in other states is that when payouts are reduced, lottery ticket sales and net proceeds also decline.
