In recent times, lottery revenue is largely flat due to a number of variables, including "jackpot fatigue," which occurs when players wait until jackpots are abnormally huge, and decreasing participation rates among millennials. The rivalry from casinos and other types of gambling is also getting stronger for lotteries. This begs me to ask where the revenues obtained from the sale of lottery tickets go.
 
Around 50–60% of the proceeds from the lottery go to the winners. Both the jackpots and the minor awards fall under this category. Along with bonuses for selling tickets that win the jackpot, retailers also get commissions for selling tickets in general. These commissions bring in an additional 5% of the lottery's income.
