West Virginia Lottery Pleased
WEST VIRGINIA....
The West Virginia Lottery Commission says, despite competition from Pennsylvania and the recession, the Lottery finished the 2009-2010 budget year with $1.35 billion in overall sales, 9 percent below the previous fiscal year’s total, but officials say, given the circumstances, it was a great year. The Lottery provided $589 million in total appropriations to the state. There was a drop in video lottery sales at the casinos in Wheeling and Chester, and revenue from table games was also short of estimates, and patrons at the tracks spent less money. However, the year was strong for traditional games and Limited Video Lottery.
