Note 21 - Settlement funds and funded winnings

Unclaimed winnings and payment rounding amounts are placed in the settlement fund for games and lotteries. Withdrawals from the settlement fund are use for payment of claimed winnings (claims), repayment to winning participants in various games and to increase winnings frequency in lotteries. Funded winnings consist of current winnings per product and game. Profits from games are placed in the fund after the games have been completed, and profits from lotteries are placed on activation.
