What Happens to the Lottery Money Every Year?

The Air Cadet Lottery is administered by the Ontario Provincial Committee of the Air Cadet League of Canada (the OPC), under a license issued by the Ontario Lottery & Gaming Commission. Each Squadron is required to sell a minimum number of books of tickets (quota), based on the previous year’s squadron average effective strength of cadets. Squadrons receive a portion of the Lottery proceeds based on the number of books they sell.

 

The portion of proceeds retained by the OPC is used to:

 

1. Pay all direct Lottery costs (e.g., ticket printing, letter of credit, license fees, prizes, publishing names of winners in a newspaper, etc.).

 

2. Support the OPC gliding program, by paying for fleet procurement, and maintenance costs associated with the tow planes and gliders it owns and provide to the Air Cadet Program.
