To the Honorable, the Legislature:
I am submitting the quarterly report of the Wisconsin Lottery for the quarter ending December 31, 1999. As required by §
565.37(3), Wis. Stats., the attached materials contain unaudited Wisconsin Lottery year to date Sales and Expenditure information.
The summary information reported here is not intended to be a complete financial accounting of the Wisconsin Lottery Fund. It reflects current law, including provisions of
1999 Wisconsin Act 5.
The 1999-01 biennial budget provides for the payment of retailer commissions, vendor fees and administrative expenses from the General Fund, rather than from the Lottery Fund. Administrative expenditures that were encumbered in fiscal year 1998-99, however, are reported as Lottery Fund expenditures. Pending adjustments to ensure compliance with provisions of the 1999-01 biennial budget are noted as such.
If you have any questions or comments regarding this report, please feel free to contact me at (608) 266-6466.
Sincerely,
Cate Zeuske
Secretary of Revenue
Referred to committee on State Affairs.
