Introduction

Purpose of Report The purpose of this report is to provide a financial overview of The Georgia Lottery from the time of approval by the voters in November 1992 to the end of the most recent fiscal year which occurred on June 30, 2012. This report is not a detailed study of the lottery, nor is it an audit or review of the lottery program.
Preparation of Financial Information Financial activities associated with the lottery in Georgia take place in eight organizations of the State. The summary financial information presented in this report was obtained from the State of Georgia Comprehensive Annual Financial Report and reports and other data of the individual State organizations. Lottery financial information was extracted from these reports and is summarized and accumulated in this report.
Proper Use of Lottery Funds Defined "Georgia Lottery for Education Act" 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 exceptions of fiscal year 2001, fiscal year 2010 and fiscal year 2011 , net ticket sales have increased steadily and reached almost $3.6 billion for fiscal year 2012. The Georgia Lottery Corporation offers a variety of lottery tickets for sale which include instant (scratch-off) ticket sales (i.e ., Instant Games) and draw ticket sales for Cash 3, Cash 4, Decades of Dollars, Fantasy 5, Keno!, Georgia FIVE, Powerba/1, Mega Millions, and Win for Life.

The Georgia Lottery Defined The term 'The Georgia Lottery," as used in this report, includes all financial activity of the Georgia Lottery Corporation and financial activity of the Office of the State Treasurer related to Lottery funds. 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 (Georgia Lottery for Education Act, 1992) 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 the State Treasurer receives the net proceeds from The Georgia Lottery Corporation. As required by law, the Office of the State Treasurer 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 Lottery for Education Act. Agencies of the State which have received Lottery for Education appropriations are as follows:
Department of Education (includes Office of School Readiness prior to 2005) Department of Early Care and Learning (successor to the Office of School Readiness) Regents, University System of Georgia Georgia Student Finance Commission Technical College System of Georgia (formerly the Department of Technical and Adult
Education) Office of the Governor

Lottery Reserves

The Georgia Lottery for Education Act initially required the Office of the State Treasurer to maintain two restricted reserve funds (Scholarship Shortfall Reserve and the Shortfall Reserve) to provide contingency funding for the various lottery programs through Fiscal Year 2011 . The law changed to a single requirement of a 50% shortfall reserve based on the net proceeds deposited into the Lottery for Education Account for the preceding fiscal year beginning in Fiscal Year 2012. This reserve can be drawn upon to meet any deficiencies should lottery revenues decrease to the extent that net proceeds are insufficient to meet amounts appropriated for the various lottery programs.
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 the State Treasurer is available for appropriation by the General Assembly. The exhibits below depict the amounts in each type of reserve fund.

Appropriations for Education Compared with Total Appropriations

The Georgia Lottery for Education Act mandates that net proceeds (profits) from Georgia's lottery cannot be used to supplant funding for educational programs. 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 nonlottery appropriations made to the following agencies of the State:

Department of Education (includes Office of School Readiness prior to 2005) Department of Early Care and Learning (successor to the Office of School Readiness) Regents, University System of Georgia Georgia Student Finance Commission Technical College System of Georgia (formerly the Department of Technical and
Adult Education) Office of the Governor Teachers' Retirement System of Georgia Public School Employees Retirement System of Georgia

Total State appropriations have increased from over $8.2 billion in fiscal year 1993 to $19.3 billion in fiscal year 2013. Education appropriations of non-lottery funds steadily increased in fiscal years 1994-2002, were fairly constant fiscal years 2003-2005, steadily increased again in fiscal years 2006-2008, declined in fiscal years 2009 and 2010, increased in fiscal year 2011, remained fairly constant in 2012 and looks to increase for fiscal year 2013. Education appropriations of lottery funds increased in fiscal year's 1994-1997 and has experienced both increases and decreases since fiscal year 1998; with an overall increase during that time span. During the four fiscal periods from 1993 to 1996, education and noneducation appropriations moved in a somewhat similar pattern. In fiscal years 1997-2008, education appropriations grew at higher percentage rates than those for non-educational purposes. Both appropriations decreased in fiscal years 2009 and 2010. Education appropriations increased in fiscal year 2011 , remained fairly constant in 2012 and look to increase in fiscal year 2013; while non-education appropriations decreased in fiscal year 2011, increased in fiscal year 2012 and look to increase again in fiscal year 2013.
