Lottery Makers Poised for Big Kansas Payoff
Kansas lawmakers move to launch a state lottery with initial funding of 2.75 million from the general fund to staff a supervising agency. Instant and on line games will shape the program, with Scientific Games often favored as a turnkey supplier. The plan aims to return 45 percent of gambling dollars in prizes, 30 percent to the state, 5 percent commission for retailers, and 20 percent for expenses as bids are evaluated.
