The Honorable, The Legislature:
I am submitting the quarterly report of the Wisconsin Lottery for the quarter ending June 30, 2006. As required by s.
565.37(3), Wis. Stats., the attached materials contain unaudited Wisconsin Lottery year to date Revenue and Expenditure information.
This past fiscal year the Lottery had its second best year ever, with $509 million in sales, resulting in $149.5 million in property tax relief for Wisconsin homeowners.
The information reported here is a summary and is not intended to be a complete financial accounting of Wisconsin Lottery operations.
If you have any questions or comments regarding this report, please feel free to contact me at (608) 266-6466.
Sincerely,
Michael L. Morgan

The Honorable, The Legislature:
I am submitting the quarterly report of the Wisconsin Lottery for the quarter ending September 30, 2006. As required by s.
565.37(3), Wis. Stats., the attached materials contain unaudited Wisconsin Lottery year to date Revenue and Expenditure information.
First quarter sales were $119.6 million, up 10 per cent from a year ago, generating an estimated $36.9 million in property tax relief. While these results are very good, the Lottery does not project similar results for the second quarter of FY 07. This is because sales in the second quarter of FY 06 were driven by a very large Powerball jackpot of $340 million.
The information reported here is a summary and is not intended to be a complete financial accounting of Wisconsin Lottery operations.
