| By Marese O'Hagan
The Kentucky Lottery’s board of directors has announced that sales for the first two months of its 2022 financial year – July and August – totalled $269.5m.
This was a year-on-year rise of 12.4%, and $8.8m more than what was budgeted for the period.
The Lottery board attributed the high amount of sales to several instances, including a yearly increase of 6.6% in scratch-off game sales to $9.8m and a 43.6% rise in Lucky for Life sales to $1.9m due to drawings for the games increasing to seven days per week.
