The Division estimates gross sales of $6,100,000,000 and Net Lottery Receipts of $1,697,500,000 for education in State Fiscal Year (SFY) 2002-03. This agency is included in the Transportation and Economic Development appropriation bill. State Operations The Governor recommends an All Funds appropriation of $108,543,000. By law, no more than 15 percent of gross lottery sales may be used for administration. The Executive recommends marketing up to 34 new Instant games during SFY 2002-03, with ticket prices ranging from $1 to $10. The Executive proposes a Retailers Sales Management Plan to assist retailer promotion of ticket sales. The Executive recommends 26 FTE Marketing Representatives for the Management Plan. The Executive proposes to continue the Leaders of Tomorrow Scholarship Program to provide New York State high school seniors with annual awards of $1,000 for four years of undergraduate study at a college within New York State. The Scholarship Program was started in SFY 2000-01. The additional cost of the program for SFY 2002-03 is approximately $1,200,000. The full cost of the program for ongoing, as well as new, scholarships is an estimated $4,000,000. The Governor also recommends that the Educator of the Week Program continue. The purpose of this program is to continue to focus Lottery efforts which inform New Yorkers of its mission to raise revenue for education. The cost of this program is approximately $700,000. Article VII Proposals The Executive recommends legislation to provide permanent authorization of Quick Draw and to alter certain restrictions on hours, space and food sales placed on retailers.
