Anaheim : Lottery Ticket Sales OKd at Convention Center
Visitors to the Anaheim Convention Center bent on gambling may soon get that chance.
City officials on Tuesday approved selling lottery tickets at the center--a move that would make Anaheim the first city in the county to go into the lottery business.
Estimates on profits to the city varied widely--from $29,000 to $408,000.
Ronald M. Rothschild, program development and audit manager, said in a report that some sites that sell lottery tickets across the county reported that as many as two-thirds of the customers bought up to seven tickets each. On the other hand, as few as one-sixth of the customers purchased only two tickets each, Rothschild wrote in his report.
The state Lottery Commission has indicated preliminary approval of the city’s application.
