Albany. A New York lottery plan would let players pay $2 for a chance to win up to $100000 in a horserace based drawing. The compromise between Gov. Rockefeller and legislative leaders ties prize levels to week-old horse race results and could start by July. The agreement comes as lawmakers also revise lobbyist regulations and a tax-sharing resolution advances in the Senate. Rockefeller will submit a $4.68 billion budget with $45 million expected from lottery revenues.

Rockefeller sets near 4.7 billion budget with bonds and lottery
Rockefeller presented a record state budget of 4.686 billion for the coming year financed largely through bond borrowing and a hoped for state lottery. He proposed selling 360 million in bonds, including 51 million from a 2.5 billion transportation borrowing, and expecting about 45 million from the lottery. He warned of possible road cuts if voters reject the transportation plan and noted no extra basic aid for schools beyond current increases. The plan projects an 8 percent tax yield rise to 4.239 billion and relies on larger employers advancing tax withholdings. Lottery revenue would come from a two dollar ticket with four yearly drawings, aiming to be in operation by July.
