Monday, July 10, 2006 posted 11:36 PM EDT

The Kansas Lottery just had its best year yet.

The lottery set an all-time high of $236.3 million in ticket sales for the fiscal year that ended June 30, officials reported. That total is up 14 percent over a year ago and topped the old record of $224 million set two years ago.

The record ticket sales means an estimated $67 million will be transferred to the state for fiscal year 2006.

The most popular lottery offering was Instant Tickets, with $107.7 million in sales. Larger, faster-growing jackpots in Powerball also contributed to higher ticket sales, with sales topping $54.4 million for the year.
