and the Distinguished Schools program.
The Lottery has teamed up with State Superintendent of
Public Instruction Jack O’Connell to provide recognition
for the teachers and administrators who are judged to be
the best in the state each year. These teachers of the year
are chosen after a rigorous and highly competitive nomination process.
Distinguished Schools must also meet a variety of
eligibility criteria, including designated federal and state
accountability measures. These schools must demonstrate
that they have implemented innovative programs that help
teach the next generation of students, and they have to be
willing to share these programs with other schools.

lets retailers know that they have to treat customers
fairly. Undercover agents posing as customers ask retailers and their clerks about a ticket that they know is a
winner. The overwhelming majority of retailers and their
employees treat these agents and all of their customers
in an honest and fair way. Most are extremely helpful
to their customers.
A few retail employees, however, are not honest.
Lottery investigators work with other law enforcement
agencies to build cases against these employees, and
they are prosecuted by local district attorney’s offices.
In addition, these arrests get so much coverage in the

At the same time we are earning money for schools by

Retailer Commissions & Bonuses
During its 25 years in operation, the
Lottery has paid out nearly $4 billion
in commissions and bonuses to stores
in every part of our diverse state, from
large chains like CVS to small momand-pop stores. These commissions
help stores employ thousands of people.
In addition, many of our 21,000 retailers
contribute to their communities by making charitable donations.

Retailers have

their makeover.
Retailer Makeover
As part of our effort to improve our business practices
and make the Lottery more efficient, we have launched
a new program designed to help our local retailers do a
better job of marketing and showcasing lottery merchandise. The new program is called “Retailer Makeover.”
Lottery district offices select a retailer with a positive attitude toward Lottery products, but with a need
for improvement, especially as it relates to increasing
the Lottery’s brand image in the retail environment.
A team of Lottery employees and contractors then
goes into the selected store and gives that store a makeover, helping the retailer to spruce up their display area.
Sometimes the help can be something as simple as a
shiny new countertop.
So far all of the owners of the nine stores selected for
“Retailer Makeover” have been very grateful. The retailer
selected as the “Makeover of the Year” had a nearly 17%
increase in sales following their makeover.

Scratchers tickets.
Our California Replay program allows
players to register Scratchers tickets
online for a second chance at winning
great prizes. As a result, customers can
reuse and recycle their tickets rather
than throw them away.
In the future, our impact on the environment will be
even less than it is today. Next year we plan to open a new
headquarters building that will reduce our use of water,
electricity and CO2 emissions. The building’s many environmentally-friendly features will allow it to be certified
as a LEED Gold (Leadership in Energy and Environmental
Design) building.

89% of Lottery
employees reported
that the work they
do is very important
to their office.
People come first at the Lottery. Without a dedicated, trained
and talented workforce, the Lottery couldn’t meet its mission
of helping schools.
We find that employees who have the right set of tools are
more productive, stay on the job longer and contribute to a
positive work culture. As a result, the Lottery invests heavily
in the training and productivity of its workforce
Here are some examples of the new
programs the Lottery has launched
during the past year to help employees
grow and advance.
ÎÎ New Employee Orientation: The New Employee
Orientation programs ensure that each new
employee feels valued, respected and informed.
ÎÎ Leadership Academy: The Leadership Academy
provides tools for supervisors and managers to
engage a talented workforce to align with and
contribute to the Lottery mission and vision.
ÎÎ Project Management Training: Effective project
management brings about the successful implementation of the Lottery’s goals and objectives.
ÎÎ Employee Surveys: 72% of Lottery staff partici-
pated in an in-depth survey of employees in June
2010. This high-level of participation confirms
how much Lottery employees care about the
place they work. Results will help guide Lottery
management in developing future policies and
training programs.

Where the Mone y Goes
Lottery funding:
where the money goes
How Schools
Spend Their Money
The Lottery is proud to have contributed
$1 billion a year to public schools and colleges
in each of the last 10 years. All public education institutions in California get Lottery funds,
including Community Colleges, the University
of California system, the California State
University system, Adult Education, Charter
Schools and even the schools at the Department
of Corrections and Rehabilitation – Division of
Juvenile Justice.
These institutions are not required to tell us
how they spend their funds, but in 2006/2007,
the state Department of Education conducted
a study showing that schools spend 61 percent
of Lottery funds on salaries and benefits for
instructors, 24 percent on classroom materials
and the remainder in other areas.

A pledge to perform
This report is the start of something that we are
excited about: putting corporate social responsibility at the top of our list of priorities. During the
rest of the year we plan to implement our ideas
about how to maintain trust and close relations
with stakeholders: the groups and individuals with
which the Lottery interacts on a regular basis.
We also plan to establish ways of measuring
our progress toward achieving our goals of being a
leader in consumer protection, supporting education and enhancing local communities, minimizing
our impact on the environment and supporting our
employees so they can carry out the mission of the
Lottery in a responsible way. Next year, we plan to
publish a similar report that lets you know about
our progress in all these areas.
