We look forward to continuing our efforts to generate revenue for Michigan schools.”
“The success that the Michigan Lottery has achieved in just a few short years in the iLottery space is truly remarkable,” stated Doug Pollard, Co-Chief Executive Officer, Pollard Banknote. “Through our collaborative partnership with the Michigan Lottery, we have learned a great deal about iLottery players in Michigan and have made great strides in bringing new technology-enabled products and services to the Lottery to engage its players and optimize sales. We will continue to be a partner that is fully invested in the success of the Michigan Lottery’s iLottery program to increase revenues for good causes through online and mobile channels.”
“We are privileged to have the opportunity to once again extend the market-leading work we do with the Michigan Lottery, and the overall growth since 2014 has been a testament to the innovative approach the Lottery has demonstrated,” added Moti Malul, NeoGames’ Chief Executive Officer. “Our company has worked diligently alongside the Lottery to continuously improve the program, whether it be new and exciting games or innovative solutions to enhance the online experience.
