Mission
In 1966, New Yorkers approved a constitutional amendment to authorize a State Lottery in support of education. The Division of the Lottery raises revenue through the sale and marketing of Lottery games.
Budget Highlights
The Executive Budget recommends $118 million All Funds ($118 million Other Funds) for the Division of the Lottery. This is a decrease of $5 million in All Funds ($5 million Other Funds) from the 2008-09 budget, primarily reflecting achieved savings in nonpersonal services expenditures. The Executive Budget recommends a staffing level of 358 FTEs for the Division of the Lottery, a decrease of 3 FTEs from the 2008-09 budget. This decrease reflects the impact of the statewide hiring freeze, implemented by the Executive in July of 2008. Selective hiring will continue for positions that will enable Lottery to advance its goal of maximizing revenue for education.
