Alagoas lawmakers advance state and Maceió public lottery proposals
Lawmakers in Alagoas and Maceió have proposed creating public lotteries, with both bills under review by legislative committees and awaiting plenary votes. The state proposal would allow five lottery formats and allocate gross revenue among prizes and taxes, social programmes, sport, culture and administration; the municipal bill has remained in committee since December.
The proposals could establish state and municipal lottery services and set how their revenue is allocated.
