Thanks to the record jackpot, the New York Lottery has already exceeded its Powerball sales total from the last fiscal year, and there are still about four-and-a-half months left in the current one.<\/p>\n
Through Nov. 12, NYSGC data shows the state lottery has sold $375.5 million in Powerball tickets for the 2022-23 fiscal year, which started in April. During the 2021-22 fiscal year, the lottery sold $356.6 million.<\/p>\n
