Arkansas Lottery Director Ernie Passailaigue made his last appearance in front of the Arkansas Lottery Commission Legislative Oversight Committee this morning. The director, who will retire on Oct. 7, said working at the lottery had been a "labor of love." Committee Chairman Johnny Key thanked Passailaigue for the work he had done for the lottery including getting the games up and running quickly. In his report to committee members, Passailaigue said instant tickets continue to perform well and sales in August were above last year's numbers. So far this fiscal year, however, transfers to the scholarship fund have been below expectations (a combined $732,353 below budget for July and August).
