"The Arizona Lottery strengthens its operations with Scientific Games"

Scientific Games, the world’s biggest lottery games company, is strengthening its successful partnership with the Arizona Lottery. Earlier this week, the company announced its plan to enhance the Arizona Lottery's sales operations by delivering a new suite of systems technology.

Under the alliance, the lottery operator will gain from Scientific Games' Momentum ecosystem, which features a top-notch retailer management system and a central gaming system. According to the agreement, the Arizona Lottery will enhance its operations and strengthen security. The technological upgrade driven by Scientific Games is designed to enhance the player experience and revitalize the Lottery's traditional draw games. This deal is anticipated to foster success for the Arizona Lottery's retail partners as well. Significant changes to the Arizona Lottery's draw games include an update to The Pick, introducing an automatic multiplier with each play and better overall odds of winning. Additionally, a new instant win add-on called The Pick PLUS will be introduced. The Arizona Lottery plans to add a daily midday drawing for its Pick 3 game and unveil a new Pick 4 game featuring both midday and evening draws. Among the enhancements is an add-on for Powerball players, known as Powerball Double Play, offering the chance to win up to $10 million. This add-on provides a separate drawing following the main Powerball draw, with the possibility of life-changing prizes.

Since becoming the Arizona Lottery's systems technology partner in 2015, Scientific Games has been committed to preparing the Lottery for long-term success with advanced systems and software, along with exciting new products that engage players and support programs benefitting Arizonans, he said. Alec Thomson, the Executive Director of the Arizona Lottery, shared in the excitement. Our teams have been diligently working with Scientific Games, and we are thrilled to see this project finally come to life, he commented. Thompson also highlighted that the updates to the draw games will offer players greater value, more play options, and increased chances to win. He noted that the new technology from Scientific Games sets the Lottery up for further growth. This upgrade seems beneficial for Arizona players, particularly if it enhances security and simplifies following the draw games.
