106It is apparent from the case-file that although before 1974 unclaimed winnings were wholly retained by the racecourse undertakings, Decree 74-954 restricted for the first time the use to which those winnings could be put to certain categories of social security expenditure, the winnings not used for that purpose having to be paid to the State. Article 20(4) of that decree provided that ‘each year the racecourse undertakings may be authorised by the authorities responsible for approving their budget to allocate the winnings on uncashed tickets to relief, social assistance, welfare or additional retirement benefits for their staff, excluding all other benefits. Such sums are to be paid to one of the bodies provided for in Article 25 hereunder or to a vocational training centre. The fraction of the winnings on uncashed tickets which is not allocated to funding the activities defined in the preceding subparagraph shall be paid to the Treasury’.
