Iowa lottery start may slip to mid August
A top Iowa lottery official said tickets likely go on sale between August 15 and 20 if background checks and contracts with Scientific Games proceed. The board approved negotiating a $2.9 million data processing contract, a higher bid but chosen for earlier start and proven track record. Background investigations by the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigations could push the start date, with $3.1 million appropriated to launch the lottery.
