2011 House Bill 5147 ↩

Senate Roll Call 791: Passed

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