Mauritius lottery returns more to consolidated funds than operator profit, Lottotech data shows
Operator says MUR23.31 of every MUR100 spent on lottery products was allocated to Consolidated Funds in 2025, while profit accounted for just MUR4.14.
Mauritius.- Lottery operator Lottotech has published revenue allocation figures showing that contributions to Mauritius’ Consolidated Fund were more than five times operator profit in 2025.
An infographic published by Lottotech shows that for every MUR100 (US$2.09) spent on lottery products, MUR50.58 (US$1.06) was returned to players as prizes and MUR23.31 (US$0.49) was channelled to the Consolidated Fund. Retailer commissions accounted for MUR5.44 (US$0.11), operating expenses for MUR11.51 (US$0.24), gaming costs for MUR3.92 (US$0.08) and income tax for MUR1.26 (US$0.03), leaving MUR4.14 (US$0.09) as profit. Under Mauritius’ lottery framework, contributions to the Consolidated Fund support government expenditure across health, education and infrastructure.
Lottotech said the distribution reflects prizes, Consolidated Fund contributions and retailer commissions combined amounted to 79.33 per cent of lottery spending in 2025.
The figures form part of Lottotech’s “Everybody Wins” campaign, which frames the lottery as a contributor to the broader economy. Lottotech said lottery revenues contribute through taxes, employment and support for public finances.
The operator added that lottery revenues contribute to a wider economic ecosystem through taxes, employment, sustainable business operations and support for public finances.
Notably, the allocation to Mauritius’ Consolidated Fund exceeded operator profit by a significant margin, according to the figures.
The company also reported negative net financial income of MUR0.16 (US$0.003), indicating that financing costs slightly exceeded financial gains during the period. Lottotech framed its 2025 performance as evidence that lottery operations can generate benefits for multiple stakeholders.
