| (v) the long-term care of veterans. |
| 24 |
| Moneys collected from the special instant scratch-off game |
| 25 |
| shall be used only as a supplemental financial resource and |
| 26 |
| shall not supplant existing moneys that the Department of |
| 27 |
| Veterans Affairs may currently expend for the purposes set |
| 28 |
| forth in items (i-v).
|
| 29 |
| Moneys received for the purposes of this Section, |
| 30 |
| including, without limitation, net revenue from the special |
| 31 |
| instant scratch-off game and from gifts, grants, and awards |
| 32 |
| from any public or private entity, must be deposited into the |
| 33 |
| Fund. Any interest earned on moneys in the Fund must be |
| 34 |
| deposited into the Fund.
|
| 35 |
| For purposes of this subsection, "net revenue" means the |
| 36 |
| total amount for which tickets have been sold less the sum of |
