However, the agency came up just short in exceeding its profit record, according to lottery officials on Tuesday.Įstimates for the fiscal year that ended June 30 show the state lottery took in a record $5.86 billion in revenue and paid a record $4.31 billion of that money back out to players. Interim Executive Director Mark William Bracken said the lottery expects it will turn over $1.1 billion in net profit for the Legislature to use as local aid - $10 million less than the previous fiscal year, which set a record profit. The Massachusetts Lottery had another record-setting fiscal year, with all-time highs for total revenue, prizes paid out and commissions or bonuses paid to retailers.
