Ms van der Merwe said: “Leading TLC over the past three years has been a privilege and I am exceptionally proud of the results we, as a team, have delivered."

John F. Davis, Florida Lottery Secretary, said, “Our mission is to maximize revenues for the enhancement of public education in Florida, which have totaled more than $48 billion thus far. Since 1997, we’ve helped send more than one million Florida students to college on a Bright Futures Scholarship. By extending our Scratch-Off games partnership with Scientific Games, we will continue to put our students’ dreams of higher education within reach.”

“For quite some time, the national draw games like Mega Millions and Powerball have been very similar to one another,” West Virginia Lottery Director John Myers said. “These changes to Mega Millions will give us more variety in our game menu and allow players who enjoy jackpot-style and draw games more options between our in-state and national offerings. We do want to remind everyone to please play responsibly.”
