AGENCY EXPENDITURE SUMMARY & BUDGET JUSTIFICATION LOTTERY AND CHARITABLE GAMES CONTROL BOARD (DC)

The projected gross budget (including operating revenue) for the Lottery
and Charitable Games Control Board is $137,472,000, a decrease of
$8,906,000. Total gross operating revenues of $5,458,000 will fund the
board's administrative expenses, and $45,143,000 will be transferred to
the General Fund (included in the General Fund financial plan) to support
the District's overall operation and programs. The revenue estimates for
FY 1988 are derived from administering legalized lotteries, on-line
numbers games, earnings on investments, and license fees for the
operation of bingo games and raffles.

The board's operations are financed entirely with non-federal funds, with
the net proceeds serving as a source of revenue for the General Fund.
Only the administrative expenses of $5,458,000 are provided from
appropriated budget authority. The following financial plan for FY 1988
shows the relationship between the gross budget, including the
administrative expenses, the planned appropriated net transfer to the
General Fund of $45,143,000, and $137,472,000 in gross revenue.

The FY 1988 administrative budget request affords the Lottery and
Charitable Games Control Board the ability to manage the continued growth
in lottery revenue. Revenue generated from legalized lotteries and
on-line numbers games has increased substantially since implementing
lottery operations in FY 1982. During that period, the board has
lessened its reliance on contracted services, and assumed primary
responsibility for the instant lottery games, and marketing and
advertising. The resources requested in fiscal year 1988 allows the
board to continue gains in reducing overhead and operating costs in
administering legalized lotteries and numbers games in the District of
Columbia.
