"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."

"In this game-changing year for the industry, lotteries have the potential to offer more options for play than ever before," said Jay Gendron, IGT Chief Operating Officer, Lottery.

“Lottery instant games are an $87.5 billion a year global consumer product, including $50 billion sold in North America, and they are a major driver of consumer retail store visits.

Kristian Nylen, Kambi Chief Executive Officer, said: “I’m delighted the Kambi and 888 partnership, which has been successful in Europe, has been extended to support 888’s visionary sports wagering plans in New Jersey and further afield in the U.S. “As the only operator active in the country’s three regulated online gaming states, 888 is already a recognised brand in the U.S. and I’m confident that, with a Kambi Sportsbook, 888sport will establish itself as a successful multi-state sports wagering operator.”

"IGT's leading entry into the tribal gaming sports betting space demonstrates how a wide variety of casino operators can benefit from our flexible, market-ready PlayShot sports betting solution, today," said Enrico Drago, IGT Senior Vice President PlayDigital.

"We value our partnership with Scientific Games," said Maryland Lottery and Gaming Director Gordon Medenica.
