State-by-State Comparison: Scratchers Sales vs PB/MM Sales
I went through every US state lottery's most recent financial report to see how sales of scratchers compare to sales of Powerball and Mega Millions.

In two states (OR and SD) lottery sales are dominated by video lottery, and scratchers and draw game sales are just a drop in the bucket. Two other states (ND and WY) don't even sell scratchers. In all states, I did not

Last July the advertised Jp for a drawin started out at 1.02 billion and they had ticket sales of 703 million. Tonights advertised JP started out at 1.55 billion and they only had ticket sales of less then half of that 703 million.
