BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS
(Executive Budget: pp. 227-229)
The Division of Lottery is responsible for administering New York State Lottery
games. The Division estimates gross sales of $4,400,000,000 and Net Lottery
Receipts of $1,525,300,000 for education in State Fiscal Year (SFY) 2001-02.
This assumes the Governor's multi-state lottery game is approved by the
Legislature and Quick Draw is maintained. This agency is included in the
Transportation, Economic Development and Environmental Conservation Budget Bill.
State Operations
The Governor recommends an All Funds Appropriation of $115,418,000, an increase
of $3,133,600 from SFY 2000-01.
This increase reflects salary increases, increased contractual costs and
increased advertising and printing costs. By law, no more than 15 percent of
gross lottery sales may be used for administration.
The Executive recommends implementing a Retailer Sales Management Plan to assist
retailer promotion of ticket sales. In addition, the Executive proposes 26 new
Full-Time Equivalent Marketing Representatives for the Management Plan.
The Governor proposes to continue the Leaders of Tomorrow Scholarship Program at
$3,080,000 to provide New York State high school seniors with annual awards of
$1,000 for four years of undergraduate study at a college within New York State.
The Scholarship Program was started in SFY 2000-01.
The Executive also recommends establishing an initiative called the New York
Lottery Youth Entrepreneurship Program. This Program will be funded with
$500,000 from the Lottery Division and will be offered to students in grades 8
to 12 across New York State. The intent of the Entrepreneurship Program is to
develop, train and encourage students to start and run small businesses.
Article VII Proposals
The Executive recommends legislation to authorize the Division of Lottery to
participate in multi-state games such as Powerball. Legislation is also
proposed to provide permanent authorization for the operation of Quick Draw.
