Senator Paulo Bauer (PSDB-SC)

Project requires disclosure of data from lottery winners in Brazil

Senator Paulo Bauer's proposal (PSDB-SC) makes it mandatory to divulge the data of the winners of some prize in lottery games. Bauer explains that when buying the ticket, the bettor will know that 90 days after the award, his name will be disclosed by Caixa Econômica Federal.

The senator affirms that the objective of PLS 412/2017 is to give more transparency to the lottery contests and to end with suspected frauds.

Bauer recalled the scandal of 1993, when former federal deputy John Alves, the Union's budget rapporteur for several consecutive years, bought winning tickets to launder diverted public money.

The senator stressed that it is necessary to follow international standards to avoid such cases. The bill is under review in the Senate Economic Affairs Committee.
