Three different statutes administered by hte Lottery earmark part of its non-appropriated administrative allowances to fund this contract.

Explanation of above estimates (including long-range effect):
This program is being transferred to the Deparment of Health and Human Resources from the West Virginia Lottery. The total money value of the effort remains static. The administrative cost figures in section 2 above are zeroed because the Lottery will not save personnel and other costs by the transfer. The Lottery's main purpose was and will be to provide funds for a private contractor from its non-appropriated administrative allowances.
Sources of funds:
$500,000 from the Lottery's State Lottery Fund administrative allowance
$1,000,000 from the Lottery's Excess Lottery Revenue Fund administrative allowance
$ 100,000 from the Lottery's Racetrack Table Games Fund administrative allowance
The Lottery will no longer report to the Legislature annually concerning this program; reporting will be DHHR's duty.
