Their sales amounted to $46.7 million in their first full year of operation, producing an estimated $10 million in profit. That is less than half of the $27 million in profits that the lottery had projected those monitor games would raise. Nevertheless, Svitko said in a news release he was thrilled with the way the new games have taken off, calling them "a tremendous success." Other highlights from the report include: · Winners captured a record $2.9 billion in prizes from all games, an increase of $193.3 million from the prior fiscal year. · The multi-state games – Powerball, Mega Millions and Cash4Life – also showed growth in ticket sales primarily because of several large Powerball and Mega Millions jackpots that occurred over the course of the year, according to the lottery. They had combined sales of $506.7 million. · More than 9,700 lottery retailers earned $266 million in commissions in the last fiscal year, up more than $41.8 million from the prior year.
