The Virginia Lottery reported a record first half on Jan. 13, with year-to-date sales above $3.2 billion and projected profits of about $485,000,000, agency staff told the Lottery Board.
Director (identified in the transcript as "Director") presented the numbers as preliminary and unaudited and credited multiple factors for the gains, noting, "We've had 2 very large Powerball jackpots ... which have resulted in Powerball numbers being up," and that the iLottery program was "up 31%" for the half-year. He said those jackpots bring new players into the system and that digital engagement helped iLottery surge.
