Lottery in New York Faces Slow Start and Heavy Ads
Albany reports first month sales fall short of the projected one million tickets daily though New York City drives initial demand. The state touts a $1.5 million annual Madison Avenue style campaign with 2100 outdoor billboards and 12500 transit car ads while facing billboard space shortages and criticism from conservationists. The program relies on 4200 licensed vendors as it competes with racing and illegal numbers for gambling dollars. Mary Alice Pfleging, 12, is shown practicing on a trampoline with Middletown Girls Club aiding program operations.
