The U.S. Olympic Committee is turning to state lotteries as a source of funding, one that could generate as much as $25 million by 1996, the New York Times reported.
Scientific Games, the USOC’s partner in the new deal, already has signed 15 states that have agreed to buy 378-million tickets for the instant-win scratch-off game, the newspaper reported. It said Massachusetts has agreed to buy 100 million and California and Illinois 60 million each, with discussions under way with five other states, including New York, New Jersey and Florida.
