Lottery not such a good bet, some states finding Washington ticket sales remain steady, but 'jackpot fatigue' is taking its toll Monday, September 10, 2001 SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER STAFF AND NEWS SERVICES Ticket sales and profits for lotteries around the nation have been declining for the past several years, providing less money for education, senior citizens, parks and other programs. Today, 38 states including Washington have lotteries that, because of their coast-to-coast prevalence, have become the most widely played form of gambling in the nation. But last fiscal year, 20 states saw lottery profits fall. In 15 states, sales dropped. In all, Americans spent $38 billion last year on lottery chances, down $1 billion from what they wagered in 1996. seattlep-i.nwsource.com
