China's Ministry of Finance released data showing a 6.4% year-on-year decrease in national lottery sales for April 2026, totaling 54.073 billion yuan. This decline is attributed to a higher sales base in the same period last year and a reduction in sports events, which affects sales of scratch-off and sports-guessing lotteries.
