According to the latest official data, in 20 17, China's lottery sales revenue crossed the 400 billion mark for the first time, of which about half went to the prize pool, about 30% to the public welfare fund, about half to the central government and 30% to the pension.

"The lottery public welfare fund has become an important financial support for the development of social welfare in China." The relevant person in charge of the Comprehensive Department of the Ministry of Finance introduced that in the past 30 years, with the steady expansion of the lottery public welfare fund, the distribution policy of the public welfare fund has been adjusted and improved from the initial "departmental distribution" policy to the current "proportional distribution" policy.

According to the current lottery public welfare fund allocation policy: the central and local governments allocate lottery public welfare funds at a ratio of 50: 50, and the lottery concentrated part is allocated to social security funds, special public welfare funds, the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the State Sports General Administration at a ratio of 60%, 30%, 5% and 5%. The local retained part is determined by the provincial financial department in consultation with the civil affairs and sports departments at the same level.

At the same time, as the lifeline of sports and the booster of social welfare, sports lottery has become an important part of accelerating the construction of a healthy China and a sports power, and has also promoted the successful hosting of major international and domestic sports events such as the Olympic Games, the Asian Games and the National Games.

I hope more lottery revenue can be used for the people!
