REPORT
Introduction
The Assistant Minister for Economic Development, Tourism, Sport and Culture, in accordance with the provisions of Regulation 4(4) of the Gambling (Channel Islands Lottery) (Jersey) Regulations 1975, is pleased to submit to the States a report of the Public Lotteries promoted from 1st January 2018 up to 31st December 2018, including the Christmas Draw of Thursday 20th December 2018, together with an income and expenditure account and balance sheet.
Overview of the Channel Islands Lottery
Policy for the Lottery in 2018 was decided in Jersey by the Assistant Ministers for Economic Development, Tourism, Sport and Culture, Deputies M.J. Norton and M. Tadier of St. Brelade , and the States' Trading Supervisory Board in Guernsey.
Public Lotteries Board
The Public Lotteries Board is constituted in accordance with Regulation 3 of the Gambling (Channel Islands Lottery) (Jersey) Regulations 1975, for the purpose of conducting any Draws held in Jersey.
The policy of the Assistant Minister for Economic Development, Tourism, Sport and Culture
An Expression of Interest' exercise to determine the process for the distribution of Channel Islands Lottery proceeds in Jersey will be undertaken shortly. The Assistant Minister will bring a Proposition to the States regarding the allocation of the Jersey portion of the profits from the Channel Islands Lottery for 2018.
The profit, according to the provisions of Regulation 4(5) of the Gambling (Channel Islands Lottery) (Jersey) Regulations 1975, would be applied in such a manner and for such purposes of public benefit as the States shall from time to time by Act direct.
The amount available for distribution from 2018, is £2,145,526, an increase of £746,429 from 2017. This increase was driven by a number of factors, including securing improved terms on the distribution of tickets, and improvements to the approach taken to estimate prize liabilities following review.
The win ratio and percentage pay-out of each game was published on each scratch-card ticket reverse, save for the Christmas Lottery Draw, which is determined by the number of tickets sold.
