Iowa Lottery Sees Sales Drop Closer To Normal After Record Fiscal Year

Statewide Iowa — The record sales numbers the Iowa Lottery saw in the last fiscal year have slowed down in the new fiscal year that started in July.

Iowa Lottery CEO, Matt Strawn, says they believed the record sales were brought on by the pandemic — and now things are getting back to normal.

Strawn reported on the numbers during Tuesday’s Iowa Lottery Board meeting.

Scratch tickets led the way in the record sales year, while lotto games lagged. Strawn says the new fiscal year is seeing some changes there.

Strawn says the lotto games have seen a boost in sales as recent jackpots climbed — including a Powerball jackpot that is more than 500 million dollars and still growing.
