“Giving back is what WyoLotto set out to accomplish when it was formed in 2014,” Jon Clontz, CEO of WyoLotto, said. “The true measure of a lottery’s success is what it gives back, and we are proud to be able to give back over $1 million to the state of Wyoming this quarter,” Clontz concluded.

“This new partnership brings together POWERBALL®, a premier brand in the lottery industry, with New Year’s Rockin’ Eve, a powerhouse entertainment brand,” said David Barden, POWERBALL® Product Group Chairman and New Mexico Lottery CEO. “As we showcase POWERBALL® on a new national stage, we are continuing POWERBALL’s 27-year legacy of creating millionaires while raising funds for good causes supported by Lotteries.”

Total Funding for Education at More Than $4.96 Billion  “These stellar results are great news for education in Tennessee,” said Rebecca Hargrove, President and CEO of the Tennessee Lottery. “The Lottery continues to achieve its goal of maximizing dollars to fund valuable education programs, which has resulted in more than 1.3 million scholarships and grants awarded since we began.”

INTRALOT Group Chairman & CEO Sokratis P. Kokkalis noted: “The reported revenue and earnings contraction during 2018 points to the need for a wide re-organization of our production and operational capabilities towards significant cost reductions and operational efficiencies. This is why we recently conducted a management reshuffle in order to design and implement a new cost-reduction plan through better synergies between divisions and between headquarters and subsidiaries. I am personally committed and focused on our mission to best address the needs of our clients and to improve the cash flow generation of our business through a combination of new business and organic growth opportunities, coupled with cost optimization, while continuing disinvestments from non-core assets when market conditions are favorable.”

Massachusetts Lottery Executive Director Michael Sweeney said the IT upgrade will ensure the stability of the system — which brings in approximately $1 billion in profit to cities and towns each fiscal year. An upgrade like this one happens once every 15 to 20 years, according to Sweeney.

In addition to ruling in favor of the Lottery Commission, the court requested that the DOJ submit within 14 days a memorandum detailing its position on if the Wire Act should apply to states and the vendors they rely on to carry out lottery games.  “We have an obligation to protect the revenues for the state, fund education for schools in New Hampshire,” Charlie McIntyre, the executive director of the New Hampshire Lottery, said after the hearing. “That is a lot of money. ... Over the next biennium, you are talking $192 million. ... It’s real money, so we have to protect it.”

“Much of this is attributable to the launch of our first $30 Scratch off ticket,” said Kentucky Lottery President and CEO Tom Delacenserie. “As we celebrated our 30th anniversary, we wanted to do something big to mark the occasion. Launching this new price point was a big hit with players with a first-time ever top prize of $3 million, and they really responded.”
