Scientific Games has announced that it will continue the successful Scratch-Offs partnership with the Florida Lottery that has helped propel the Lottery to one of the top five performing instant game lotteries in the world (La Fleur’s 2024 World Lottery Almanac). The Florida Lottery will continue the Scientific Games Enhanced Partnership program for three additional years to drive sales performance and increase profits to fund education for Florida’s public schools, colleges, and universities, as well as the state’s Bright Futures Scholarship Program.

The Scientific Games Enhanced Partnership program will continue to provide the Florida Lottery with a robust assortment of products and services, including real-time analytics and insights, portfolio management and game planning, licensed brand services, advanced logistics, retail optimization, and second chance programs. Serving more than 13,500 retailers statewide, Scientific Games operates from its Orlando facility, utilizing the powerful SciTrak Ultra suite—an industry-leading instant game management solution.

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.”

The Scientific Games Enhanced Partnership program is used by more than 20 lotteries, including five of the top six performing instant game lotteries worldwide. SGEP drove 31% better performance for U.S. lotteries utilizing the program in fiscal year 2023-24 (MAP weekly per capita sales).

John Schulz, President Americas and Global Instant Products for Scientific Games, said: “The Florida Lottery’s partnership and collaboration with Scientific Games has resulted in Scratch-Off performance that is consistently among the best in the world. We’re very proud that our work together has continually improved instant game profits to benefit education in Florida.”

Scientific Games has been selected as the New Mexico Lottery’s full-line provider, winning a new, 10-year contract for gaming systems technology and expanding the global lottery company’s previous contract for New Mexico Lottery Scratchers to the Scientific Games Enhanced Partnership program. The company is the fastest-growing government-regulated lottery gaming systems provider in the world, highlighted by recent systems contract wins in the U.S. and Europe.

David Barden, CEO of the New Mexico Lottery, said, “Following a rigorous competitive procurement process, we are delighted to announce Scientific Games as the New Mexico Lottery’s new full-line provider. This strategic partnership will see Scientific Games become our exclusive lottery systems technology partner and expand our existing Scratchers relationship to a full SGEP arrangement. By implementing a single, holistic solution across our entire lottery operations, we aim to optimize performance and generate increased scholarship funding for New Mexico students.”

With a focus on strategic planning across all product lines, Scientific Games will provide the New Mexico Lottery with the company’s Momentum ecosystem, featuring the advanced AEGIS central gaming system, SciTrak instant game system and Infuse business intelligence platform. Scientific Games’ WAVE X point-of-sale retailer terminals and PlayCentral suite of self-service machines across its network of 1,000+ retailers will help engage New Mexico Lottery players with expanded game content.

John Schulz, President of Americas & Global Instant Products for Scientific Games, said, “We have partnered with the New Mexico Lottery on the instant game portion of their business for many years and are looking forward to helping take their performance to new heights as a full-line provider in a new collaborative contract. The Lottery has always taken an innovative approach to Scratchers. As the systems technology provider, we look forward to innovating its full-line business with our full ecosystem of advanced solutions to drive responsible growth.”

The SGEP program will provide the New Mexico Lottery with Scratchers portfolio management and game planning services, data analytics, advanced logistics, licensed brand services, and retail sales and marketing support. Used by more than 20 lotteries, including five of the top six performing instant game lotteries worldwide, the program drove 31% better performance for U.S. partners in fiscal year 2023-24.

The company also provides the New Mexico Lottery with licensed properties such as GAME OF THRONES and LOTERIA. The Lottery will be supported in Albuquerque by a Scientific Games team of game, product and technology experts, along with the company’s state-of-the-art facilities and logistics services.

Scientific Games‘ enterprise systems technology will continue to power the Arizona Lottery for an additional three years under the company’s existing contract, with an option to extend additional years as part of the extension terms. The company will modernize the Lottery for its next era of profit growth by providing an upgraded, advanced central gaming system, as well as next-generation vending powered by SCiQ technology.

The current Scientific Games systems technology in Arizona went live in 2016, and the company has successfully executed nearly 40 lottery system implementations and conversions since then. Over the past eight years (2016-2024), the company’s systems technology has helped power a 73% growth in the Arizona Lottery’s total sales.

“Scientific Games has been a trusted partner of the Arizona Lottery for 43 years and we are proud to continue our partnership into the coming years,” said Alec Thomson, CEO of the Arizona Lottery. “As industry leaders in central gaming system operations for lotteries across the U.S. and the world, Scientific Games will continue to support the Arizona Lottery in driving meaningful impact for Arizona communities through ticket sales.”

Scientific Games serves the Arizona Lottery in Phoenix, where the company’s teams of marketing, analytics and tech experts, along with the central system, software and data center operations are housed. The central system is integrated with Scientific Games’ state-of-the-art retailer telecommunications network, point-of-sale terminals, vending, SCiQ network and in-store digital advertising displays which support all 3,500 Arizona Lottery retailers across the state.

John Schulz, President, Americas & Global Instant Products, said, “We started with the Arizona Lottery at its beginning with the launch of the instant product portion of their business and have supported them for the last eight years with our lottery gaming system technology, which has served the Lottery very well. Our teams and technologists have worked hard to build a strong partnership with the Lottery through service excellence and continually modernizing the technology that supports its sales – ultimately driving maximum funding for good cause programs in Arizona.”

Every year, hundreds of millions of dollars from Arizona Lottery ticket sales go to programs and organizations doing good in four key areas: higher education, health and human services, environmental conservation, and business and economic development.

Scientific Games has provided the Arizona Lottery with Scratchers since its inception in 1981 and continues to provide world-leading instant games to help generate funds for vital programs in the state.

Scientific Games provides retail and digital games, technology, analytics and services to 150 lotteries in 50 countries around the globe. The company is the largest lottery games creator, producer and manager in the world.
