-the standard does not drop all the year round, resulting in high-priced issuance. A series of regulations on lottery management in China clearly put forward that with the expansion of lottery issuance scale and variety, the proportion of lottery issuance fees can be reduced. However, insiders said that because this requirement is not mandatory, the issuance fee standards of most lottery varieties have not been adjusted for more than ten years, which has become a "thick line" constraint.
Tao Yixin, head of the Propaganda Department of Zhejiang Welfare Lottery Distribution Management Center, said that in 2004, the sales volume of local welfare lottery was 560 million yuan, and by 20 14 years, it had reached 10 billion yuan. According to the standards of different lottery issuance rates, in 20 13 years, the welfare lottery issuance fee in this province reached nearly1800 million yuan. According to the data of the Ministry of Finance, in 20 13, the national lottery sales amounted to 309.3 billion yuan, while in 2004 it was less than 40 billion yuan. According to experts' calculation, after 2002, the issuing interest rate of major lottery varieties basically remained at 13% to 15%, and the issuing fee increased by more than 7 times during 10.
-frequent procurement rent-seeking corruption. A person in charge of a listed printing company revealed that at present, advertisements, games and other graphics and texts are printed on the back of each lottery ticket, which needs to be printed by outsourcing enterprises. "Most provinces are printed by one or two companies for a long time, and it is not known through what channels to obtain business." Little known is that the printing and paper supply business of thin lottery tickets is also "amazing". The reporter learned that according to the regulations, after the lottery center turned over to the public welfare fund at a rate of 35%, how to spend it is a matter for the competent government department. Take the welfare lottery as an example, half of the public welfare fund is turned over to the central government and the other half is left at the local level. The part turned over to the central government shall be distributed to social security funds, special public welfare funds, the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the State Sports General Administration in the proportion of 60%, 30%, 5% and 5%; Those who stay in the local area will also be used for five types of public welfare undertakings: "helping the elderly, helping the disabled, saving orphans, helping the poor and providing disaster relief".
But in reality, some local public welfare funds are inefficient, or "sleeping" or reduced to "small treasury":
-"Sleep on the account." By the end of 20 12, the unused sports lottery public welfare fund in Shandong province was 425 million yuan, of which 4 cities and 34 counties accounted for more than half of the allocated amount in that year; As of February 20 10, the accumulated balance of Shanghai welfare lottery public welfare fund was 64180,000 yuan, accounting for more than 80% of the total raised public welfare fund.
According to industry insiders, it is a common phenomenon that half of local public welfare funds "sleep on their accounts". The person in charge of the financial department of a prefecture-level city in Jiangsu said that although it is clear that lottery funds can be used to supplement the social security fund, in fact, "this money has never really been used." "The reason is how this money is divided into the power of the department, even if it is not spent."
