Officials with the Pennsylvania Lottery announced that the in-state lottery generated more than a billion dollars in profits for the 11th straight year during the 21-22 fiscal year.
The Lottery said traditional games generated $5 billion in sales while $746.5 million came from online games. Last fiscal year’s sales mark the second-best mark for sales and profits in the Lottery’s 50-year history.
PA Lottery Executive Director Drew Svitko said the profits will be put towards programs that benefit older citizens in Pennsylvania.
Profits will ensure that seniors have access to programs that provide them with property tax and rent rebates, free and reduced transportation fees and prescription drug assistance.
