Section § 14701
This law states that if the money earned from the lottery goes up and down, the government does not plan to add extra money to make up for any decrease in lottery funds. In simple terms, they won't cover any shortfall if less lottery money comes in.
The Legislature recognizes that the amount of lottery revenues may fluctuate over time. Therefore, it is the intent of the Legislature that no additional funds be provided in order to offset any decline in lottery revenues.
