Oklahoma's lottery is booming during the pandemic. Over the past three weeks, lottery sales topped more than $7 million compared to a little more than $4 million during the same time period last year.
The Lottery Commission says sales are mostly driven by scratchers, which saw a jump of $3.3 million dollars in one week alone compared to 2019.
Officials say the scratchers sales could be up as people look for home entertainment while another theory points to the current closure of gambling casinos.
