Proper Use of Lottery Funds Defined Georgia Code states that: "net proceeds of lottery games ... shall be used to support improvements and enhancements for educational purposes and that such net proceeds shall be used to supplement, not supplant, existing resources for educational purposes and programs." Lottery Ticket Sales The first lottery tickets were offered for sale on June 29, 1993 and in the final two days of the 1993 state fiscal year, net ticket sales were $18.6 million. With the exception of fiscal year 2001, net ticket sales have increased steadily and reached in excess of two and a half billion for fiscal year 2004. The Georgia Lottery Corporation offers a variety of lottery tickets for sale which include instant (scratch-off) ticket sales and on-line ticket sales for Cash 3, Cash 4, Lotto South, Change Game, Fantasy Five, Quick Cash Keno and Mega Millions.

Information on the financial activities of agencies receiving appropriations is not included in this review. The Georgia Lottery Corporation was created specifically to perform the various aspects of operating and managing a state lottery. The Corporation was created by an act of the General Assembly of Georgia and was given operating authority by the citizens of Georgia. Activities of the Corporation are directed by a seven member board of directors appointed by the Governor and confirmed by the Senate. The State of Georgia Office of Treasury and Fiscal Services receives the net proceeds from The Georgia Lottery Corporation. As required by law, the Office of Treasury and Fiscal Services maintains the "Lottery for Education" account, as a separate account, into which net lottery proceeds are deposited and maintained. These net proceeds along with their earnings are transferred to the respective state agencies based on appropriations made by the Georgia General Assembly. Agencies of the State of Georgia Receiving Lottery Appropriations The General Assembly may make appropriations from the Lottery for Education account to those state agencies having education responsibilities. The purposes for and amount of funding provided to these agencies is determined by the Governor and the General Assembly. The agencies are responsible for expending lottery funds in accordance with applicable provisions of the Georgia Code. Agencies of the State which have received Lottery for Education appropriations are as follows: Department of Education Georgia Student Finance Commission University System of Georgia Department of Technical and Adult Education Office of the Governor 2 The Georgia Lottery Georgia Code provides that as nearly as practical, at least 45% of the amount from the actual sale of lottery tickets should be made available as prize money.

Georgia Code also provides that, as nearly as practical, net proceeds shall equal at least 35% of the Georgia Lottery Corporation's lottery proceeds. Net proceeds are required to be transferred to the Office of Treasury and Fiscal Services quarterly. From inception to June 30, 2004, the Lottery Corporation has transferred 32.51 %, over $6.8 billion, of lottery proceeds to the Office of Treasury and Fiscal Services.

These reserves are: Scholarship Shortfall Reserve - An amount equal to 10% of the prior fiscal year's proceeds disbursed in the form of scholarships and grants is deposited into the Scholarship Shortfall Reserve. Contributions to the Reserve continue until the Reserve equals 50% of the prior year's disbursements for scholarships and grants. Shortfall Reserve - Of the prior year's net lottery proceeds deposited into the Lottery for Education account, an amount equal to 10% is maintained as a Shortfall Reserve. In addition, after providing for the restricted reserves shown above, any Unrestricted Reserve which remains in the Lottery for Education account at the Office of Treasury and Fiscal Services is available for appropriation by the General Assembly.

This requirement ensures that lottery funds are not used to fund base level education programs previously funded with non-lottery funds. For purposes of this report, appropriations for education purposes are defined as those non-lottery appropriations made to the following agencies of the State: Department of Education (includes Office of School Readiness) University System of Georgia Department of Technical and Adult Education Georgia Student Finance Commission Teachers' Retirement System of Georgia Public School Employees Retirement System of Georgia Total state appropriations have increased from almost 8 billion dollars in fiscal year 1993 to over 16 billion dollars in fiscal year 2004. The increased amount of education funding from non-lottery resources has taken place during a period when total state appropriations increased. As shown in the chart below, education appropriations of non-lottery funds steadily increased fiscal year 19942002 and have remained fairly constant since fiscal year 2002, Education appropriations of lottery funds have remained fairly constant since fiscal year 1997. These amounts do not include appropriations for debt service. As indicated in the chart, during the four fiscal periods from 1993 to 1996, education and non-education appropriations moved in a somewhat similar pattern. In fiscal years 1997-1999, education appropriations grew at significantly higher percentage rates than those for non-educational purposes. Since 2001 both education and non-education appropriations have leveled off. 10 9 8 7 6 Cl) C ~ iii 3 2 1 0 1993 EDUCATION AND NON-EDUCATION STATE FUND APPROPRIATIONS (Exduding Appropriations for Debt Service) 1994 1995 1996 1997 1998 1999 2000 Education-lottilfY E;duoation--Regular Appropriations Non-&luallion 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 Annual appropriations for fiscal years 1994-2004 are based upon the amended appropriations act.
