We’re proud to share that our co-founder, Walter Szrek, has been honored by NASPL for his outstanding contributions to the lottery industry. Walter’s vision, innovation, and passion helped shape not only our company but also the broader industry. We’re deeply grateful for his legacy — and we remain committed to growing Szrek2Solutions fulfilling his vision.

VICE PRESIDENT HELENA PEREIRA RECEIVES THE AWARD ON BEHALF OF WALTER SZREK.

This recognition is especially meaningful because the nomination came from one of our valued clients, the Florida Lottery. Jodi Ryon, Deputy Secretary of Gaming Operations, acknowledges Walter’s outstanding service to the lottery industry:

“Walter was a visionary leader whose passion for technology and commitment to excellence left an indelible mark on our organization and beyond. Despite his absence, Szrek2Solutions continues to uphold his legacy through their ongoing dedication to innovation, quality, and service. Their efforts to maintain Walter’s standards of excellence are a testament to his enduring impact on the industry. The Florida Lottery is honored to nominate Walter Szrek posthumously for his exceptional contributions to our operations and to the broader Lottery community. His work will be remembered not only for its immediate impact but for the lasting influence he has had on the standards and practices that continue to guide us forward."

Walter’s remarkable legacy extends beyond his inventions and patents. 

Walter spent over 25 years building his collection of mechanical adding devices. He chose to donate it in its entirety—a 700-piece collection to  Krakow’s Jagiellonian University museum, Collegium Maius.
