Kansas Lottery Holds Strong Revenue Despite Dip in FY
Kansas Lottery fiscal year ended June 30 shows $236.7 million in sales, down 1.4 percent from $240 million in 2007, with instant games rising 0.4 percent to $115.1 million and Powerball up 9 percent to $43 million. Executive Director Ed Van Petten cites economy and store closures for the slide, while officials note long-term strengths of scratch-off tickets amid shifting lottery game dynamics. A separate task force to review bridge inspections follows the I-35W collapse, planning a 10 a.m. briefing in Topeka with KDOT, the Kansas Association of Counties and the League of Kansas Municipalities.
