No claim for the payment of an expense of the lottery or the payment of a lottery prize may be made unless it is against the lottery operating fund or money collected from the sale of lottery tickets. Except for the initial start–up funding to the lottery, the general funds of the state may not be used or obligated to pay the expenses of the South Dakota Lottery or prizes of the lottery.
