Iowa Lottery sales exceed 11 million after three weeks with an average of over 500000 tickets sold daily. About 8.6 percent of sales come from out-of-state players, mainly Nebraskans and residents near borders, with Des Moines and Cedar Rapids regions driving most of the state totals. Lottery officials cite a rebound after a Labor Day and school start dip and anticipate further boosts from a forthcoming jackpot show.
