Mass. Lottery profits beating projections

BOSTON — State Lottery revenues are "running a little bit over" projections, and officials at the money-making agency plan to consider readjusting their forecasts in April.

Projected to produce $962 million in annual profits to supplement municipal budgets, the state-run gambling agency has clocked $686.3 million in net profit through the first eight months of fiscal 2016, according to Executive Director Michael Sweeney.
