North Dakota Lottery Tickets on the Rise

Lottery ticket sales have increased slightly in North Dakota despite fewer multimillion dollar jackpots.

Gamblers wagered just over $27 million on lottery games for the fiscal year that ended June 30.

That’s about $100,000 more than the year before.

There were fewer jackpots of over $400 million in the last fiscal year, which likely impacted lottery ticket sales.

North Dakota lottery sales set a record in 2013 at $27.8 million.
