Candidate for governor of Sergipe by the PSD, F\u00e1bio Mitidieri, declared that he has a project to create a state lottery. In an interview with Jovem Pan, the candidate stated that the project would serve to increase revenue and transfer more resources to culture, sports and leisure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to the project, the ‘Lotese’ and the funds obtained would be managed by the Bank of the State of Sergipe (Banese), without dependence on Caixa Econ\u00f4mica Federal. In addition, the amounts obtained would be divided between the payment of awards and the growth of investment values \u200b\u200bfor the areas of culture, sport and leisure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI 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\u201d, said Mitidieri.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cToday, we already have good examples of states that use this type of collection, such as Cear\u00e1, S\u00e3o Paulo and Rio Grande do Sul\u201d, added the PSD candidate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
During the exercise of the position of federal deputy, Mitidieri was the rapporteur of the provisional measure n\u00ba 841, of 2018, which defended the autonomy of states to recreate or launch their own lotteries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the text, he argued that the prizes of state lotteries should be at least 45% of the revenue and that the rest should be passed on to the promotion of sports, social security and social programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
