Public Hearing
With the aim of improving dialogue with all sectors interested in the project, both individuals and companies, a Public Hearing will also be held on May 9th, at 2:30 pm, in the auditorium of Palácio Araguaia, in Palmas.
The dialogue phase is one of the most important stages of the projects that make up the portfolio of the Partnerships and Investments Program (Tocantins-PPI), as it assists the government in improving the process necessary for carrying out the bidding process.
Next stage
At the end of the consultation and public hearing phase, the suggestions made by the population will be evaluated, responded to and adapted to the project. From there, the bidding stage will be carried out, where the company or consortium that will carry out the process of implementation, operation and maintenance of lottery services is defined.
About the project
The implementation of a State Lottery is focused on exploring the modalities foreseen in the Brazilian norm – drawing of numbers, instantaneous and sports bets, physical and online bets can be explored. The model studied for the implementation and operation of the Lottery in Tocantins is that of concession, where the State has a percentage of the gross operating revenue, allocating these resources to social projects.
Among the desirable positive impacts are: boosting the generation of employment and income in the 139 municipalities of Tocantins; enable investments that could not be borne by the state public administration; regulate and combat illegal betting respecting the premises of legal and responsible gambling; finance social projects.
