It is assumed that this new ticket would be a $1 ticket. It is also assumed that this new ticket would increase overall 
lottery sales by 7% for new people entering the lottery who have not played previously, This increase in General Fund 
revenue is estimated at $176,000 in fiscal year 2009-10 (5 months of activity) and $423,000 beginning in fiscal year 
2010-11. The remaining amouht of sales related to this ticket would come from people who are already playing the 
lottery and switch from another ticket to this ticket. Based upon previous experience with dedicated lottery tickets, it 
is estimated that the amount trans felTed from the General Fund to the Comprehensive Cancer Screening, Detection 
and Prevention Fund within the Department of Health and Human Services would be $337,500 in fiscal year 2009-10 
and $810,000 beginning in fiscal year 2010-11. Since the majority of people purchasing this ticket would already be 
playing the lottery and would be switching from another ticket to this ticket, there would be a net loss of General Fund 
revenue of$161,500 in fiscal year 2009-10 and $387,000 in fiscal year 2010-11. 
Provides an Other Special Revenue Funds allocation of $337,500 in fiscal year 2009-10 and $810,000 in fiscal year 
') 
2010-11 for the Comprehensive Cancer Screening, Detection and Prevention Fund within the Department of Health," 
and Human Services funded by the proceeds of the sales of the new lottery ticket.
