The Rhode Island Lottery announced on Monday the sports-betting results from Sunday's Super Bowl. The lottery said gamblers bet five-and-a-half-million dollars through Sportsbook RI and lost just over 800-grand. The state will take in about half of that revenue. Last year, when the hometown New England Patriots were in it, Sportsbook RI paid out almost two-and-a-half-million dollars in winnings.
