Legislative Audit Bureau
May 27, 2004
The Honorable, The Legislature:
As required by s.
13.94(1)(em), Wis. Stats., we have completed a financial audit of the Wisconsin Lottery, which is administered by the Department of Revenue. We have issued an unqualified opinion on the Wisconsin Lottery's fiscal year (FY) FY 2001-02 and 2002-03 financial statements.
Lottery ticket sales totaled $435.0 million in FY 2002-03. This level of sales represents an increase of $7.4 million over FY 2001-02. Property tax relief distributions increased from $119.0 million in FY 2001-02 to $129.6 million in FY 2002-03.
We are in the process of completing our biennial program evaluation of the Wisconsin Lottery. We anticipate issuing that report, which will focus on issues concerning contracting and game selection and development, later this summer.
We appreciate the courtesy and cooperation extended to us by the Department of Revenue.
Sincerely,
Janice Mueller
State Auditor
