As economic uncertainty and an expanding menu of gambling options send lottery sales into a slide in Massachusetts and across the country, officials here are thinking about making changes to “adjust to the current market structure” and will dive deeper into the trends they are worried about next month, the head of the Mass. Lottery said Tuesday.

Lottery sales in August were down $35.9 million or 6.4% compared to August 2021, Interim Executive Director Mark William Bracken told the Lottery Commission, and every product except one (Megabucks Doubler, which had a historically high jackpot) was in the red for the month. Through two months of fiscal 2023, Lottery sales, which have surged higher in recent years, are down $20.3 million or 1.8%.
