HERSHEY - Gov. Tom Corbett says the state budget plan he'll present to lawmakers next month will contain an additional $50 million to improve programs for senior citizens.

At a news conference at a senior center in Hershey on Thursday, Corbett said the money will come from an increase in Pennsylvania Lottery revenue that's expected from a British company's takeover of lottery management.

Corbett says the money will allow more seniors to receive in-home services and shrink the waiting list of seniors who need services to remain in their homes.

Corbett's administration has finalized a 20-year contract to hire British lottery operator Camelot Global Services to manage the state-owned lottery. The attorney general's office received the paperwork Wednesday night and has 30 days to review its form and legality.
