The project for the concession of the exploitation of the public lottery service in the State of Tocantins covers the development and exploitation of authorized lottery modalities, in digital and physical means, called traditional lottery, prediction lottery, instant lottery and fixed-quote lottery, as per the decision of the Supreme Court (STF), in 2020, which recognized the material competence of the states to exploit these services.
With the technical studies carried out, it is estimated that the project can generate 1,000 direct and indirect jobs from points of sale in 139 municipalities, with an increase in revenue for the State of R$ 10 million (USD 1.75m) per year.
For the Secretary of Partnerships and Investments, José Humberto Pereira Muniz Filho, in addition to social development with new job openings, “the economic potential of the project has the capacity to finance the creation of a Foundation or Sports Department, serving interest Governor Wanderlei Barbosa and the state's sports class, without compromising fiscal targets, which demonstrates the versatility of a partnership program and the social integration of a well-structured concession model.”
