NJ Lottery Defends Sales And Marketing Partnership

TRENTON, N.J., – New Jersey Lottery officials testified at a legislative hearing in Trenton that a partnership with a private firm to assist in sales and marketing has helped the state, despite revenue figures that are lower than projected estimates. New numbers for fiscal 2015 put lottery revenues at $960 million, down a half percent from the previous year and well off the over one billion projected by bringing in Northstar.
