NEW JERSEY LOTTERY 2019 ANNUAL REPORT

EXECUTIVE

OVERVIEW

The New Jersey Lottery is happy to present the comprehensive annual financial

report for Fiscal Year 2019 (FY19), ending June 30, 2019. The New Jersey

Lottery is an industry leader and one of the most successful lotteries operating

in the country and across the globe.

FY19 was a record-setting year for the New Jersey Lottery. Sales were over

$3.4 billion, exceeding the previous record by $182 million. The strong sales

were driven by the highest ever Mega Millions jackpot, several huge Powerball

jackpots, and the largest Pick-6 jackpot since 2004. The Lottery¡¯s FY19

contribution to the State of New Jersey was $1.1 billion, the largest in our history.

Our network of over 7,000 retailers, substantially made up of small and local

businesses, earned $198.5 million in commissions.

The Lottery awarded over $2 billion in prizes in FY19, and New Jersey players

celebrated big wins! In March, a player from Alpha in Warren County won

the $273 million Mega Millions jackpot. A family from Bayonne won the $29.5

million Pick-6 jackpot in December, and two other players won Pick-6 jackpots

last year. There were 25 second tier winners of Powerball and Mega Millions

who each won $1 million, and Scratch-Offs players collected 17 prizes in excess

of $1 million.

The New Jersey Lottery is proud to be one of the largest sources of revenue

for the State of New Jersey. FY19 marks the fifth consecutive year that the

Lottery¡¯s contribution to support the State¡¯s financial obligations increased.

I am pleased to share the results from FY19 with the citizens of New Jersey.

James A. Carey, Jr.

Executive Director
