Myers said the Lottery has had two strong years after 2020 revenues were impacted by forced shutdowns associated with the pandemic. The only time the $1 billion mark wasn’t hit in more than a dozen years was was 2020.
Myers’ team reported May revenue numbers to members of the state Lottery Commission at the commission’s monthly meeting Wednesday.
Total gambling revenues for May came in at $106.8 million. The biggest contributors to that number was Racetrack Video Lottery at $41.3 million for the month and Limited Video Lottery with revenue of $41.2 million, the 9th highest monthly amount for LVLs.
