Martha Hernandez of Scientific Games Receives NASPL 2012 Powers Award

ALPHARETTA, GA – August 8, 2012 – Scientific Games Corporation (Nasdaq: SGMS) announced that Martha Hernandez, Account Executive for Scientific Games, was a 2012 Powers Award recipient at the North American Association of State and Provincial Lotteries’ (NASPL) Professional Development Seminar held recently in Orlando, Florida. Hernandez is a 21-year veteran of the lottery industry and one of the industry’s first client service professionals to receive the prestigious Powers Award, presented annually by NASPL in recognition of significant contributions lottery and vendor employees have made through exceptional performance.

“Scientific Games is very proud of Martha’s accomplishments managing several of our largest U.S. lottery customers, including the Massachusetts, Arkansas and South Carolina Lotteries,” said Rhonda Gillen, Vice President of Creative and Customer Service for Scientific Games. “To have one of our lottery customers nominate her for the Powers Award is a testament to Martha’s exceptional project management and customer relationship expertise. She is one of the most knowledgeable account executives in the industry.”

The Powers Awards are named in honor of the late Edward J. Powers, the “Father of all U.S. Lotteries” and according to NASPL, a name that is synonymous with success. Powers spent more than 25 years in the industry and his work defines the organizational blueprint for today’s lotteries. Each year, lottery directors and members of lottery executive management teams have the opportunity to submit nominations for Powers Awards candidates who have made outstanding contributions to lottery organizations or to the lottery industry.

Martha Hernandez is an Account Executive at Scientific Games, where she is responsible for all phases of game development for her lottery customers, from initial planning to final art, prize structure development and delivery. In addition to serving the Massachusetts, Arkansas and South Carolina lotteries, she has also worked as an Account Executive for Scientific Games’ lottery customers in New Mexico and Italy.
