Scientific Games and the Florida Lottery have reported a record year for scratch-off games, with retail sales reaching $7.093bn in calendar year 2025.
The figure surpasses the previous high of $7.091bn set in 2022 and marks the strongest scratch-off performance in the Lottery’s history.
According to the companies, the results generated more than $1.21bn for the Florida Educational Enhancement Trust Fund, which supports public schools, higher education institutions and the state’s Bright Futures Scholarship Program.
Scratch-Off sales increased by 6.84% year-on-year and accounted for almost 74% of the Florida Lottery’s total annual sales of $9.63bn, underlining the category’s role as the Lottery’s primary revenue driver.
During the year, players claimed more than $5.23bn in scratch-off prizes, while retailers earned approximately $425m in commissions.
Several established game families contributed significantly to the overall performance, including the Gold Rush Multiplier range, which generated $1.29bn in sales and represented over 18% of total Scratch-Off revenue.
Other notable contributors included the Week For Life and Holiday Cash games, alongside higher-value “blowout” titles.
Commenting on the results, Reginald D. Dixon, Florida Lottery Acting Secretary, stated: "We are extremely proud of our partnership with Scientific Games. Our work together continues to achieve high performance for our scratch-off games by using data analytics to inform our game portfolio planning and logistics.
