IA lottery on the rise

Posted:

A new state audit of the Iowa Lottery shows sales increased 14.6 percent over last year.

Revenues for the lottery rose to $311 million in the fiscal year that ended June 30.

The previous year revenues were $271.5 million.

Most of the increase was due to more sales of instant-scratch tickets, Powerball and Mega Millions tickets.

Scratch tickets brought in $188.8 million while Powerball brought in $57.9 million. Mega Millions sales were at $22.3 million.

More than $182 million was handed out in prizes.

Money deposited into the state's general fund totaled more than $76 million and $2.7 million was deposited into the veteran's trust fund.

The State Auditor's office released the annual audit report Friday
