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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Mauritius.- Lottery operator Lottotech<\/strong> has published revenue allocation figures showing that contributions to Mauritius’ Consolidated Fund <\/strong>were more than five times operator profit in 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lottotech said the distribution reflects prizes, Consolidated Fund contributions and retailer commissions combined amounted to 79.33 per cent of lottery spending in 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The operator added that lottery revenues contribute to a wider economic ecosystem through taxes, employment, sustainable business<\/strong> operations and support for public finances. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Notably, the allocation to Mauritius’ Consolidated Fund exceeded operator profit by a significant margin, according to the figures. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n
