3 A MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN OF THE TEXAS LOTTERY COMMISSION AND THE DIRECTOR OF THE CHARITABLE BINGO OPERATIONS DIVISION On behalf of the Commissioners and the Charitable Bingo Operations Division of the Texas Lottery Commission, we want to thank all the members of the charitable bingo industry for making 2016 another great year. We are pleased to present the Charitable Bingo Operations Division 2016 Annual Report. Charitable bingo continues to play an important role in assisting many of Texas nonprofit organizations with their charitable purposes. In calendar year 2016, reported total gross receipts were over $761.5 million, a $4.7 million increase from Gross receipts have steadily increased in the past four years. Pull-tab sales have seen an increase in sales every year since 2002 and account for approximately 54 percent of total gross receipts. Total prizes reported paid to players were more than $579.7 million, the highest in the history of charitable bingo in Texas. Charitable distributions saw a 5.8 percent increase over 2015 with licensed authorized organizations reporting that they distributed $30.2 million for their charitable purposes; 1,001 charitable organizations in Texas were licensed to conduct charitable bingo in These non-profit Texas charities through a variety of actions provide a multitude of services throughout the state that support the local community with the use of their charitable distributions to benefit a wide range of charitable causes including, but not limited to, education scholarships, assisting needy children, the disabled, veterans, senior citizens, Meals on Wheels, Boys and Girls Clubs, food banks, job and disaster assistance. Furthermore, during calendar year 2016, $19.1 million was deposited into the General Revenue Fund and an additional $13.9 million was allocated to cities and counties that share in the prize fees collected, due to the conduct of bingo games. The year covered by this report includes some key Division accomplishments. Most notable are: A bingo industry stakeholder workgroup was created. The workgroup is comprised of various industry representatives of the bingo community and Commission staff. The purpose of the workgroup is to collaborate on industry related topics, rules and to review challenges and opportunities in an effort to better serve and improve charitable bingo in Texas.

4 The redesigned CBOD website was launched. It allows users to browse information with improved user accessibility. The website provides an enhanced experience when navigating bingo information provided on various web pages or searching for updated forms and instructions. A new social media page was unveiled. By implementing a social media presence through Facebook, CBOD is able to further foster communications with the bingo industry and the public by disseminating helpful bingo related information, articles and announcements. A link to the Facebook page is available on the redesigned website. Audits resulted in an increase in charitable distributions of $45,062. The audits revealed incorrect valuation of merchandise prizes, lack of documentation for expenses and unreasonable or unnecessary expenses. With the expense obligations from the audited period having already been paid, the required re-deposit of funds into the affected organizations bingo bank account went directly to the charities as charitable distributions. We strive to provide consistent, effective and efficient regulation to the charitable bingo industry in Texas. We will continue to work in partnership with industry representatives to further develop and implement policies and procedures that benefit the non-profit organizations conducting authorized bingo activities in Texas to raise funds for their charitable purposes and ultimately the citizens of Texas. We look forward to the future and new opportunities to fulfill our mission to regulate Charitable Bingo in the state of Texas. J. Winston Krause, Chairman Texas Lottery Commission Alfonso D. Royal III, Director Charitable Bingo Operations Division

21 BINGO TRAINING PROGRAM Sections , (h) and (e) of the Bingo Enabling Act require the bingo chairperson of every licensed authorized organization to complete the Bingo Training Program. Under the provisions of , (h) and (e) of the Act, unit managers and designated agents are also required to complete training. Other officers and members may also complete the training programs. In June 2008, the online version of the Bingo Training Program was made available on the website. The online version allows the individuals required to complete the training program to do so at their own pace without the need to travel to an on-site training program or taking time off from work. It also reduces travels expenses for the Division due to a reduction in on-site training programs. AUDIT ACTIVITY In 2016, the Audit Services Department of the Charitable Bingo Operations Division conducted a variety of audit activities including game inspections, oversight of destructions, complaint investigations, compliance audits and reviews. The Bingo Enabling Act (BEA) and Administrative Rules (Rules) require licensees to maintain certain documentation.

During game inspections, investigations and audits, licensee records are inspected and audited to determine if the required records and information are maintained in compliance with the BEA and Rules. The Commission conducts compliance audits and reviews to determine if the records and accounts of the organization accurately reflect financial and fiscal operations, if effective accounting and internal controls are maintained, and to determine if funds are received and used for purposes authorized by the BEA and Rules.
