“March was a wonderful month for us. Not only did we have a national Mega Millions jackpot winner, but our players got to take part in the second-highest Powerball jackpot ever offered,” said May Scheve Reardon, executive director of the Missouri Lottery. “It was great timing for us and critical in allowing us to send this kind of monthly contribution to help fund public education.”
Kristian Nylén, CEO of Kambi, said: “Kambi’s track record of springboarding partners to the next level of their sportsbook journey is unrivalled, and in National Lottery JSC we have yet another example of how operators can grow using our Sportsbook.
“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.”
The company quotes data from the World Lottery Association, which shows that "never in history, no company implementing the state monopoly in the gaming sphere has conducted so many new and technologically complex projects at the same time." - This is the best summary of our activities - comments CEO Olgierd Cieślik.

Jim Poppell, Florida Lottery Secretary, said, “We don’t set out to break national lottery industry records, we set out to generate funding to enhance education in Florida. These records are just a testament to the careful research, planning and marketing that goes into our scratch-off games so they provide a fun, entertainment value to Floridians. It’s great to see our players having fun, and we look forward to continuing to provide them the best games available.”
Massachusetts Treasurer Deborah Goldberg argues it cannot continue to generate nearly $1 billion a year for local aid unless it is allowed to compete with daily fantasy sports and other online gaming.
"As we continue this discussion about other types of pathways for gambling, particularly sports betting if the commonwealth does go in that direction and if it particularly offers an online or mobile aspect to the sports betting, I think it would be fair for the Lottery, as well as fair to our casino partners, that those new providers have a similar requirement," Mass. Lottery Executive Director Michael Sweeney said.
