Law that allocates Brazil’s lottery funds to Paralympic sports comes into force

New Law 14,294 of 2022, which allocates lottery resources to Paralympic sports in Brazil, entered into force this Wednesday (5). Published in the Diário Oficial da União, the text defines the percentage of the lottery's collection of numerical predictions to be allocated to the Brazilian Committee of Clubs (CBC): of the 0.5% total it is entitled to from the money obtained from lotteries such as MegaSena , the CBC gets 0.46 percentage point and the Brazilian Committee of Paralympic Clubs (CBCP) with 0.04 percentage point.

Another part comes from the money transferred by the government to the National Confederation of Clubs (Fenaclubes), which will keep 0.01 percentage point of these transfers, while the CBCP will keep 0.03 percentage point. In total, the Executive must redirect 3.5% of the collection with the lottery of numerical predictions that are distributed in the Ministry of Sports.

The matter originates from Bill 1.953/2021, presented by senator Carlos Viana (PSD-MG) and approved by the Senate on December 16th. The purpose of the normative is to correct shared values.

The approval was possible after an agreement between the CBC and the CBCP. This is because Law 14,073, of 2020, started to include the CBCP as the direct recipient of the amount obtained with the lotteries. The measure had not taken effect because the sharing was conditioned to the collection with Lottex (instant lottery created in 2015 and which has not yet entered into operation).
