The Kentucky Lottery recently celebrated its 29th Anniversary since lottery tickets first went on sale in the state, which comes on the heals of near record-breaking sales in March. President and CEO Tom Delacenserie says the record-breaking sales was fueled by two large jackpots in Mega Millions and Powerball — in addition to near historic Scratch-off ticket sales, pushing Kentucky Lottery sales for March to $104.1 million.
