Fiscal Detail and Notes
It is assumed that this new ticket would be a $1 ticket.  It is also assumed that 100% 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 transferred to the Native American Boys and Girls Club Fund would be $337,500 in fiscal year 2009-10 and $810,000 beginning in fiscal year 2010-11.   This transfer would consist of $5,400 in fiscal year 2009-10 and $12,960 beginning in fiscal year 2010-11 from the Maine Outdoor Heritage Fund, an Other Special Revenue Fund, and $332,100 in fiscal year 2009-10 and $797,040 beginning in fiscal year 2010-11 from the General Fund.  The distribution of revenue loss to Other Special Revenue Funds and General Fund is based upon the ratio of total lottery sales.
