Subject: A City of Chicago lottery

Per our discussion

Key considerations:
* Creating a City of Chicago lottery, offered through newly available lottery technologies, selling unique new
games, could generate hundreds of millions of dollars in new, non-tax revenue for good causes in the short teen
* These new technologies and games could positively impact traditional lottery sales by expanding the player
base among non-lottery players for traditional lottery games sold through existing retailers
* There is significant movement toward legalizing sports betting nationally, and Chicago generates over a
billion dollars in illegal sports betting every year, with profits going to illegal interests. This creates an
opportunity to legalize, regulate, and generate revenue from sports betting as a test, similar to the legalization of
the numbers game in the late seventies
* Whether through testing the legalization of sports betting within the city, or taking advantage of virtual sports
betting popular in Europe, hundreds of millions of dollars could be generated within months
* These technologies exist: sports betting; virtual sports betting; complete lottery solutions with new games sold
~'~''+j only through cellphones; social gaming with prize structures sold through cellphones, geo and age control
~~~ within Chicago/metro Chicago areas

''~'
~:_,

Timing/Revenue to the City:

* Sports betting: $250+M/yr.; Virtual sports betting: $100M/yr.; cell phone only lottery: $200M/y
r.
*Legalizing sports betting in the city with geo control, and/or offering virtual sports
betting, would encourage
tourism and visits to the city from metro Chicago/the six county area
* Companies with these technologies would be open to shared risk/reward with no city investme
nt required
* A City of Chicago lottery could be producing significant revenue by the middle of FY16
