“Every time someone buys a ticket, they’re helping fund education in the state,” said Mark Michalko, executive director of the N.C. Education Lottery. “They’re not only getting the chance to win a life-changing prize, but they’re helping students in North Carolina.”

"For any consumer product business, having the appropriate levels of inventory in stores is crucial," said Kentucky Lottery President and CEO Tom Delacenserie. "This proven system of predicting exactly what individual retailers need and ensuring their supply meets consumer demands will absolutely help us grow sales of this essential product."    "We are honored that the Kentucky Lottery has trusted the full category management of its Scratch-off products to Scientific Games," said Jim Kennedy, Group Chief Executive, Lottery for Scientific Games. "This program has been refined over the last several decades, in part by developing advanced technologies, to help lotteries create more growth within the product category and responsibly grow proceeds to their good causes, like education in the state of Kentucky."

“We meet North Carolinians every day as they buy tickets and win prizes so we have a good idea of who our players are,” said Mark Michalko, executive director of the lottery. “It’s good to see this survey confirms what our experience told us. Folks from all walks of life enjoy playing lottery games.”   “A good deal of assumptions are made as to who play lottery games,” said Michalko. “A valid and reliable scientific survey, such as this one, answers important questions that will help guide the responsible growth of the lottery.”

“The Texas Lottery continues to set sales records and generate record revenue for Texas education and veterans,” said Gary Grief, executive director of the Texas Lottery. “This fiscal year, we experienced an increase in sales of $549 million or more than 10 percent over the previous year. We could not continue this record growth without the hard work of our employees, retailers and vendor partners.”

“One of our key priorities has been to make National Lottery games available in discount supermarkets whose market share has grown considerably in recent years,” said a Camelot spokesman. “We’ve started this process via a trial with Aldi, which has been going very well. Depending on the outcome of this trial, a decision will be made on whether to roll out more widely.”

“We are thrilled to launch a new version of Cash Five that will be entertaining for our players,” said Gary Grief, executive director of the Texas Lottery. “By replacing the pari-mutuel prize structure with guaranteed prizes and giving our players better odds of winning, we anticipate player and retailer interest in Cash Five will rise, leading to higher sales, which most importantly leads to increased revenue for Texas education.”

"We have long viewed ourselves as a player-centric lottery," said Charlie McIntyre, Executive Director of the New Hampshire Lottery. "Our focus in everything we do is how best to make our products entertaining and accessible to our customers by creating a strong and positive play experience. Launching iLottery is the critical next wave component in enhancing our players direct interaction with our games. We wanted to get it right and believe our choice of NeoPollard Interactive would best ensure a successful rollout and early adoption of the online lottery experience. NPi's domestic and international experience in this space has demonstrated critical best practice technology and created an enhanced player experience in that online space."

"Our team has worked hard with Scientific Games to drive responsible year-over-year growth in our instant game products, which in turn has generated more profits to support education and other state programs in Washington," said Gaylene Gray, Instant Product Manager, Washington's Lottery. "We look forward to working with Scientific Games for four more years to offer our players new conveniences with a new mobile app, and to further grow their loyalty through entertaining promotions and second-chance play."
