The Charitable Lotteries Scheme was established in 1997 to provide assistance to the promoters of certain private charitable lotteries that have products similar to products sold by the National Lottery. From its establishment until 2011, the Charitable Lotteries Fund was administered by the Department of Finance. In mid 2011 responsibility for its administration was transferred to my Department and details of payments made to Rehab under the Charitable Lotteries Scheme for 2011, 2012 and 2013 are as follows:

Rehab sales and funding under the Charitable Lottery Scheme 2011 - 2013

2010 Gross Sales (scratch card and pull tab instant win lotteries)	2010 Net Profit (scratch card and pull tab instant win lotteries)	2011 Charitable Lotteries Scheme allocation
€3,968,773	€9,452	€3,905,661

Note: The source of this information on gross sales and net profits is material provided by Rehab in support of its applications for funding in the years 2011, 2012, and 2013. A breakdown of net profit by lottery product type was not supplied in 2012 or 2013 so it is not possible to supply this information. Instead a combined net profit from lottery and bingo sales for the years 2011 and 2012 was provided. This was €590,779 in 2011 and €514,558 in 2012.
