Gross lottery revenues include gross revenues from the sale of lottery tickets and lottery shares under ch.
565 and retailer application fees imposed under s.
565.10(8).
Expenses include:
1. amortization of capital expenditures;
2. payments to vendors under s.
565.25(2)(a) for on-line and instant services and supplies;
3. operating expenses of the Department of Revenue under s.
20.566(2)(r)
Expenses exclude Department of Justice law enforcement expenses appropriated under s.20.455(2)(r).
On-Line Telecommunication Charges dropped from $2.976 million in FY04 to $42 thousand in FY05 to $0 in subsequent years as a result of a new gaming system software contract. Under the new contract, the telecommunications system linking the gaming system with Lottery retailers is included with the Instant and On-line Vendor services. The inclusion of On-line Telecommunications Charges with Instant and On-line Vendor Services has saved Wisconsin Taxpayers up to $3 million annually.
Total administrative expenditures as determined in accordance with Section
25.75(3)(b) in FY06 and FY07 were $29,139,014 and $29,101,848, respectively. These amounts represent 5.72% of gross lottery revenues for FY06 and 5.90% of gross lottery revenues for FY07. Amounts for both years are well below the 10% limitation imposed by Section
25.75(3)(b).
