Councilor suggests creation of Cascavel Municipal Lottery in Brazilian state of Paraná

An indication from councilor Dr. Lauri (PROS), read on Tuesday session (26) and sent to the Executive Branch, suggests the creation of the Municipal Lottery in Cascavel, in Paraná state. The parliamentary proposal is based on Federal Law 1.3756/2018, which provides for the exploitation of any of the lottery modalities by municipalities in Brazil. The resources from the lottery would be invested mainly in actions in the areas of sport and culture.

According to Dr. Lauri, this lottery is intended to be an “alternative measure for the recovery of the local economy.”

He recalls that the project of Governor Ratinho Jr. (PSD) for the creation of the so-called Lotepar, which would become the official lottery of the State of Paraná, is already under discussion in the Legislative Assembly.

“Timely, in September 2020 the Supreme Court (STF) understood that states and municipalities can explore this type of service provision. But it makes it clear that the destination of fundraising needs to have specific objects,” explains Dr. Lauri in the justification for the indication.

According to his proposal, the funds from the lottery would be applied mainly to actions in the areas of sport and culture.
