In fact, it would seem that all lottery games in the state are drawing games, as opposed to instant tickets, so the low returns are no surprise. We see that the two biggest sources of ticket sales, by far, are the multi-state major jackpot PowerBall and Mega Millions games, so that is the source of the extremely low overall return to player for the North Dakota lottery. North Dakota has a state lottery and the year end audit for 2019 Fiscal Year appears here.Īs we can see, total ticket sales were $35,552,991 against $18,240,252 in prizes that were paid out representing a return to player of 51.3044%, which is pretty low even by lottery standards. There are also casinos in the state, though those are tribal. Though there are not yet any commercial casinos, just about every other form of land-based gambling is legal in the state. Though politically somewhat conservative, North Dakota is reasonably liberal when it comes to its gambling laws.
