<p>MIDDLETOWN &#8212; Pennsylvania Lottery players soon will be able to play their favorite games at the same place they buy their liquor and liquor.</p><p>The Pennsylvania Lottery announced Wednesday that Lottery game sales will be introduced at more than 300 Fine Wine &amp; Good Spirits stores across Pennsylvania.</p><p>&#8220;Our presence in these Fine Wine &amp; Good Spirits stores makes it more convenient for Lottery players to play their favorite games,&#8221; said Lottery Executive Director Drew Svitko, noting that game sales are launching in approximately 40 stores this week.</p><p>Participating stores offer self-service instant and draw game sales through the Lottery&#8217;s familiar green and yellow Play Central Terminals. A number of locations will feature the Lottery&#8217;s new, state-of-the-art, touch-screen terminals. Games are not sold at cash registers, but players may redeem vouchers at a store&#8217;s office area.</p><p><ins>Svitko noted that the Lottery&#8217;s growing network of more than 9,000 retailers contributed to setting a new game sales record of $4.13 billion during the 2015-16 fiscal year. Those sales generated a record of more than $1.12 billion in net revenue to benefit older Pennsylvanians.</ins></p><p><ins>&#8220;I want to thank the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board for working with the Pennsylvania Lottery to make this business partnership possible,&#8221; Svitko said. &#8220;When state agencies work together, the citizens of Pennsylvania benefit.&#8221;</ins></p><style>
