Online Texas Lottery Sales Growth Helps Set New State Record

They say everything is bigger in Texas, and the state’s massive lottery program is no exception.

Another record-setting fiscal year for Texas lottery sales saw the state’s program register a staggering $8.3 billion in total sales, according to a recent report from TexasLottery.com. That number represents a $189.7 million year-over-year increase, and to contextualize its significance, the report points out that $8.3 billion in sales would safely place the lottery among Fortune 500 companies if it were a publicly traded company.

BOOMING!

As the state set a new sales record for its 12th straight year, the growth has been utterly explosive over the last five years with a 63.4% increase during that timeframe.

A variety of factors contributed to the sales numbers, which turns almost $2 billion back to Texas education and veterans programs. Namely, a new $100 scratch game ticket — the first of its kind available among U.S. lottery programs, helped spur $211.2 million of the more than $6.72 billion in scratch ticket sales.

Million Supreme, which first launched last May, was the top-selling scratch ticket to close out the final 15 weeks of the fiscal year. Had it been live from the start, it would have easily run past all other options.

The report also details the success of retailers in FY 2022, with the state’s nearly 21,000 retailers totaling over $415 million in commissions — good for an average of just over $20,000 per retailer.

While traditional retail sales remained strong, it’s more than notable that Texas is a leader in the online lottery space. Increasingly popular third-party lottery apps and online platforms like JackPocket, TheLotter.com, and Lotto.com contributed to sales in the Lone Star state, providing an expedited and efficient way to play. Each company experienced its own record-setting numbers in 2022.
