Article well worth reading.

Thanks to a reader who tipped me off to this article:

Don Quixote Note: I haven't run the numbers through a cruncher yet but they do appear valid. The article also contained a link to a great report called 2006 B.C. Financial and Economic Review July 06 http://www.fin.gov.bc.ca/tbs/F&Ereview06.pdf which is the source for some of the tables in above article. It appears to be a great source for other financial information about the provincial Government and their activities.

On page 83 of this report (p.91 from sidebar) is the last 5 years of the BC Lottery Corp figures. While all these figures are available in other sites etc. this report is a good overall consolidator.
