Oklahoma Lottery Sees Prize Limits Curb Revenue Growth
Oklahoma Lottery Executive Director Jim Scroggins says state laws requiring 30 percent profit for education in early years and 35 percent later cap prize levels, limiting how large payouts can be to attract players. He notes Oklahoma’s instant game payouts average 53 percent, well below the 65 percent national average, which he argues suppresses sales and education funding.
