Oklahoma Lottery Sales Lagging, But Expected To Pick Up
Wednesday, September 20, 2006 posted 12:01 PM EDT
Revenue from the Oklahoma Lottery is lagging slightly behind projections for the current fiscal year, but is expected to
pick up as the year moves on. Oklahoma Lottery Commission Director James Scroggins says the lottery is expected to generate
$123 million for
education over the current fiscal year, and that sales are typically sluggish toward the end of the summer.
During today's regular meeting of the Lottery Commission, Scroggins says he's optimistic the state can reach its goal before
the end of the fiscal year. Scroggins says the current $179 million Powerball jackpot should energize sales, along with new
games the commission plans to unveil over the next several months.
