State government candidate defends creation of new lottery to increase Sergipe's revenue

In an interview with Jovem Pan, the candidate for the state government by the PSD, Fábio Mitidieri, presented his proposal to create a state lottery as a way of increasing revenue and allocating resources to culture, sports and leisure. In the proposal, the Lotese and the funds raised would be managed by the Bank of the State of Sergipe (Banese), without dependence on Caixa Econômica Federal (CEF).

In addition, the amounts collected would be distributed between the payment of prizes and the increase in resources for the areas of culture, sport and leisure.

“I want to create a state lottery to increase revenue and allocate these resources to public policies to promote sports, encourage culture and leisure. When I was a federal deputy, I was the rapporteur of the bill that defended this autonomy so that each state creates its lottery and can define the destination of resources,” said Mitidieri.

“Today, we already have good examples of states that use this type of collection, such as Ceará, São Paulo and Rio Grande do Sul,” explains the PSD candidate.

As a federal deputy, Fábio was the rapporteur of Provisional Measure No. 841, of 2018, which precisely defended the autonomy of states for the creation of lotteries.

In the text, he defended that the prizes of state lotteries should be at least 45% of the revenue and that the rest should be destined to the promotion of sports, social security and social programs.
