Arjan Blok (Chief Financial Officer) Nederlandse Loterij stated: “After an intensive international tender process in which we have compared services of top suppliers in the gaming industry, we are confident INTRALOT will be able to deliver the quality and flexibility we need to meet the challenges in a fast and changing market.”

Drew Svitko, the Pennsylvania Lottery executive director, talked about the launch of the new products as it released its latest financial report. “These encouraging results show that our ongoing modernization efforts are succeeding. With the Lottery facing increased competition from sports wagering, mini-casinos and other new forms of gambling, we must continue to work hard to grow revenues to benefit older Pennsylvanians.”

"I had the opportunity to see Mike’s great ability first-hand when we worked together in Florida, and I’m confident he will be an excellent addition to our team in Kentucky,” said President and CEO Tom Delacenserie.

“I have maintained that if sports betting comes to Massachusetts, we must have a seat at the table,” said Massachusetts State Treasurer Deb Goldberg, who sent a bill legalizing an online Massachusetts State Lottery to state lawmakers last week. Legislators will review the bill in the new session starting in January.
