WV Lottery revenue continues climb, with sports betting on horizon
West Virginia Lottery revenue continued to climb in April, as more money spent on video lottery and traditional online and scratch-off games offset declining revenue numbers at the state's racetrack casinos.
Fortunately, our pluses are ahead of our minuses, so we are about 1 percent ahead on sales, Lottery Director Alan Larrick said after Tuesday's Lottery Commission meeting.
Traditional lottery sales are up 7 percent so far this budget year, while limited video lottery at bars, clubs and

U.S. Supreme Court overturns federal sports-wagering ban
The U.S. Supreme Court struck down the federal law that bars gambling on individual sporting events in most of the country, in a ruling likely to unleash a race among the states to attract billions of dollars in legal wagers.
Ruling in a New Jersey case, the court said the 1992 law unconstitutionally forced states to maintain laws that ban gambling. Nevada is the only state where single-game wagering is now legal.
Sports gambling could begin in a matter of weeks in casinos and racetracks i

Alabama's Democratic gubernatorial hopefuls are banking on a game of chance to reclaim the state's highest office from the GOP.
Former state Supreme Court chief justice Sue Bell Cobb and Tuscaloosa Mayor Walt Maddox have sought to make early splashes with their educational lotteries.

N.J. lawmakers trying to meddle with lottery's new Keno game
New Jersey lawmakers on Thursday considered overhauling a new keno-style lottery game that the bill's sponsor worries will draw business away from Atlantic City's casinos.

The legislation comes about six months after the lottery, which has struggled to meet revenue projections in recent years, unvei

Mississippi lawmakers could debate creation of a lottery
Mississippi residents for years have been crossing into Louisiana, Arkansas and Tennessee to buy lottery tickets.
In 2018, lawmakers could debate whether Mississippi will join the large majority of states that offer games of chance.
Supporters say money being spent on lottery tickets elsewhere could, instead, be spent in Mississippi, creating revenue to help pay for highways, schools or other state government services.
If that money is going to go to educate children and it's going to
