Illinois lawmakers raise concerns over shorthanded lottery board – Center Square

Former Chicago Bears great Gary Fencik, a former lottery control board chairman, wrote, “For the last three fiscal years, the lottery has been managed by a U.K. company owned by a Canadian pension fund, optimistically named Camelot. It is paid a $24 million fee each fiscal year. And all expenses. Camelot ranked 20th in lottery performance in fiscal 2021. While many state lotteries have set all-time records each year since the pandemic started, Camelot has missed our record FY13 revenue total by about $40 million each year."
