Despite the purse strings tightening in Las Vegas and Atlantic City, some lotteries in the US have seen an increase in instant scratch-off sales as well as sales in other lotto games.
According to the Associate Press, half of all states with lotteries have seen an increase in sales during the past six months.
“They [states] are consciously working with us to launch new programmes, offer tickets at new price points and increase the number of retail outlets,” sais Lorne Weil, chief executive of Scientific Games Corporation.
