Statewide Iowa — The Iowa Lottery is coming off a record year for sales but the new fiscal year is unlikely to do it again.
Iowa Lottery spokesperson, Mary Neubauer, says things are good for the current fiscal year which started in July.
The sales thus far at up six-point-seven percent compared to this time last year at 178-point-five million dollars. The big driver in the record sales that happened last January is not likely to happen again.
Neubauer says that gave a big boost to the bottom line.
Neubauer says the year should still be strong.
Neubauer says they will likely return to a more normal year of sales unless the jackpots would grow very large again. But she says that is never something they can plan to happen.
