Ministry of Finance issues notice on the allocation of funds for regulating the lottery market in 2026.

In 2026, the amount of funds allocated for regulating the lottery market will be determined by considering the ratio of total population to the number of sales outlets in various regions, the average annual sales volume per sales outlet, the development of instant lottery products, the local lottery market order, application factors, and fund performance, among other factors. The evaluation of the performance of lottery market regulation funds should be carried out strictly in accordance with requirements. Overall utilization of local lottery market regulation funds should be coordinated to form a comprehensive performance self-assessment report, which should be submitted according to the prescribed timeline to ensure that the self-assessment results are authentic, accurate, and objective. At the same time, the application of evaluation results should be strengthened to enhance the efficiency of fiscal fund utilization.
