KPCC News In Brief
California Lottery sales slide every month since July
Ticket sales for the California Lottery peaked three years ago. This year, they’ve slid every month since July. Lottery spokesman Al Lundeen said many regular players are hanging onto their money.
Al Lundeen: “The economy clearly impacts lottery sales. We’d like to think that – and we know that – lottery players use discretionary dollars to play games. Not many months ago, people were saying, ‘oh we’re spending a lot more on gasoline,’ and as a result have a few less dollars to play the lottery.”
Lundeen told KPCC’s “Patt Morrison” that he expects strong sales for tomorrow’s $146 million Mega Millions Jackpot.
