According to the regulations, China's lottery public welfare fund will be distributed in the central and local governments at a ratio of 50: 50, which will be used exclusively for social welfare, sports and other social welfare undertakings. The relevant person in charge of the Comprehensive Department of the Ministry of Finance said that on the whole, the policy of adjusting the proportion of lottery funds better reflects the policy goal of highlighting public welfare characteristics and reducing operating costs, and can also guarantee the actual needs of lottery issuance and sales, basically maintaining the policy stability of lottery bonuses and effectively safeguarding the rights and interests of lottery players.
In the medium and long term, with the general reduction of lottery issuance fees, more funds will enter the lottery public welfare fund to support the construction of social welfare undertakings, and supplementary lottery bonuses will be used to return lottery bonuses, which is conducive to maintaining the sustained and healthy development of lottery undertakings. Lottery funds in China consist of bonuses, distribution fees and public welfare funds. Bonuses generally account for 60%-70% of lottery funds, but the proportion of public welfare funds varies according to different lottery types.
