According to the report published by the National Audit 1 Office, the "problematic" money constituted more than a quarter of the lottery 2 funds reviewed in the audit.


Authorities say irregularities included embezzlement 3, fraud, illegal subsidies 4 for staff, and procurement 5 of fancy offices.


Yu Lin, deputy head of the Department of Social Security Audit, details how the offenders 6 mishandled the money.


"In order to get money from the lottery fund, some departments even came up with fake welfare investment projects, things such as orphanages 7, rehabilitation 8 centers, or nursing homes. Some of the money ends up going unused, while some is embezzled 9, to purchase things like cars. "


According to China's Regulations on Lottery Management, the money raised through lotteries 10 is divided into three parts: the jackpot for lottery winners, lottery management expenses and fees paid to sales distributors, and funds handed over to the state for social welfare causes.


63 billion yuan worth of unauthorized online lottery sales spanning 17 provinces, where online distributors are paid 20 to 60 percent higher than regular ones by local departments, have been uncovered.


Yu Lin says such unauthorized online lottery selling doesn't follow regulations.


"Under the current managing system, the amount of lottery management expenses and social welfare funds a province or a region get is related to the total lottery sales amount. Online sales break the geographical 11 limits, allowing distributors in one province sell tickets to buyers all around the country, as a result obtaining money that should have belonged to other provinces."


Wang Xuehong with the Chinese Public Welfare Lottery Study Institution, Pecking University, says a lack of supervision 12 is part of the reason why unauthorized online lottery sales' are so rampant 13.


"Lottery departments in as many as 17 provinces had been offering direct online channels to their customers, reflecting the country's saggy 14 regulation and supervision on the issue. We should have restrained it from the very beginning, but we didn't. So this is part of the reasons for the problem."


The audit covered a total of nearly 230 provincial 15 and municipal-level lottery sales organizations, and nearly 5000 projects funded by lottery sales.


The NAO says 14.5 billion yuan of misused 16 funds have been recovered, as of the end of May, while authorities are investigating 90 cases of suspected violations 17.


China's nationwide lottery sales in 2014 totaled 382 billion yuan, or nearly 62 billion US dollars.
