但發行彩券銷管費用不得超過售出彩券券面總金額百分之十五。
發行機構應將各種公益彩券發行之盈餘專供政府補助國民年金、全民健康保險準備及社會福利支出之用，其中社會福利支出，應以政府辦理社會保險、福利服務、社會救助、國民就業、醫療保健之業務為限，並不得充抵依財政收支劃分法已分配及補助之社會福利經費。
為監理盈餘分配及運用事宜，主管機關應設公益彩券監理委員會，由中央政府、直轄市政府及縣（市）政府、相關學者專家及社會福利團體代表組成之；其中政府代表不得超過二分之一。
委員會之重大決議需經全體委員三分之二以上出席，出席委員過半數同意，方得執行。
各直轄市政府、縣（市）政府依第二項規定所得盈餘補助款，應依該項社會福利範圍專款專用，並按季公開運用情形。
主管機關應定期以網際網路方式，公告彩券盈餘之運用情形；其公告及前項組成辦法，由主管機關擬訂，報請行政院核定。
