      REPORTING OF FUNDS.
         1.  Upon receipt of any revenue, the chief executive officer shall
      deposit the moneys in the lottery fund created pursuant to section
      99G.40.  At least fifty percent of the projected annual revenue
      accruing from the sale of tickets or shares shall be allocated for
      payment of prizes to the holders of winning tickets.  After the
      payment of prizes, the expenses of conducting the lottery shall be
      deducted from the authority's revenue prior to disbursement.
      Expenses for advertising production and media purchases shall not
      exceed four percent of the authority's gross revenue for the year.
         2.  The director of management shall not include lottery revenues
      in the director's fiscal year revenue estimates.
         3. a.  Notwithstanding subsection 1, if gaming revenues under
      sections 99D.17 and 99F.11 are insufficient in a fiscal year to meet
      the total amount of such revenues directed to be deposited in the
      vision Iowa fund and the school infrastructure fund during the fiscal
      year pursuant to section 8.57, subsection 6, paragraph "e", the
      difference shall be paid from lottery revenues prior to deposit of
      the lottery revenues in the general fund.  If lottery revenues are
      insufficient during the fiscal year to pay the difference, the
      remaining difference shall be paid from lottery revenues in
      subsequent fiscal years as such revenues become available.
         b.  The treasurer of state shall, each quarter, prepare an
      estimate of the gaming revenues and lottery revenues that will become
      available during the remainder of the appropriate fiscal year for the
      purposes described in paragraph "a".  The department of
      management and the department of revenue shall take appropriate
      actions to provide that the amount of gaming revenues and lottery
      revenues that will be available during the remainder of the
      appropriate fiscal year is sufficient to cover any anticipated
      deficiencies.
