With some hefty jackpots in recent months, the Illinois Lottery is reporting record sales for the first half of the fiscal year.
Lottery officials reported $468 million in state revenue generated by $1.8 billion in sales from July through December. The fiscal year runs from July 1 to June 30.
Two nationwide lottery jackpots that grew to more than $1 billion each helped spur sales, officials said. In fiscal year 2022, the lottery posted a record $834 million in revenue for Illinois, state records show. Current sales are on pace to eclipse that record. "Ensuring we offer our players a responsible playing environment is at the foundation of everything we do at the Illinois Lottery," Mays said."We are proud to see our efforts validated as best practice by industry bodies. But our work doesn't stop here. We believe in continuous improvement and will continue to build our approach to responsible gaming to support our players and retailers.
