In accordance with Section 24-4-103(8)(d) C.R.S. 1982·Replacement Vol., as amended, the following regulatory analysis for the Lottery Commission’s Rule for Instant Game No. 407 is submitted.

Persons affected by this rule are the people of the State of Colorado who participate in Lottery games, and Lottery vendors. Game No. 407 of the Colorado Lottery will begin in June, 2008. Tickets ordered for this game will retail at $3 each producing sales of $18,000,000.

In general, the Lottery dollar will be divided as follows:

1. A minimum of fifty percent by statute will be returned to the player in the form of prizes.

2. Fifteen percent will cover ticket costs, retailer incentives, advertising and administrative overhead.

3. A maximum of 35 percent will be distributed according to statute.

The fiscal impact of Game No. 407 will be as follows:

Ticket sales $18,000,000

Prizes returned to player (11,700,100)(65.00%)

Administrative expenses (approved) (1,170,000) (6.5%)

Net funds to distribute $5,129,900

The economic impact of the Lottery is significant and broadly spread throughout the state. New jobs are created and the retail community’s economy is enhanced. Two-thirds of Colorado’s population is eligible participants; approximately one-half of the total population plays the Lottery. The economic ramifications of the Lottery are significant. The Lottery’s operating budget will be in excess of $380 million per year. During the Lottery’s full year of operation it will maintain 126.0 full-time positions, paying salaries of approximately $8 million.

Currently 71.5 of the positions are in the Pueblo area, 45.5 are in the Denver Metro area and the remaining 9 in Fort Collins and Grand Junction. Approximately 2,900 retailers throughout the state will share in ticket commissions of 7% of each scratch ticket sold, 6% of each on-line ticket sold, and can earn an additional 0.5% of their total sales.
