Scientific Games’ omnichannel SYMPHONY gaming system will power Deutsche Klassenlotterie Berlin’s retail and digital lottery sales, enhancing the consumer lottery experience across Berlin, Germany through a new, seven-year contract. Selected by DKLB through a competitive tender, SYMPHONY’s advanced, open architecture supports retail, digital and mobile play and future game entertainment channels, including third-party content and platforms. Scientific Games has served as a technology provider to DKLB for more than 20 years. The company’s teams and partners will coordinate the conversion to the new SYMPHONY system.
DKLB is the first lottery in Germany to implement a multi-tenant SYMPHONY system, including the SG PAM player account management system, which seamlessly serves games to consumers across retail and digital channels. The platform integrates with third-party components and applications, proving solution flexibility. The pioneering solution ensures a comprehensive digital transformation that will launch in 2027 across DKLB’s operations.
Hansjörg Höltkemeier, CEO of Lotto-Berlin, said: “With our selection of Scientific Games and SYMPHONY, we are not only responding to the ever-increasing requirements in the areas of operational safety and cyber security but also focusing on continuity. Above all, we are investing in a new system architecture that will lead to an excellent, system-supported customer experience across all our sales channels.”
The new SYMPHONY system will enable DKLB to operate with a fully modular, modern system architecture that will power omnichannel sales for various lottery products, including scratchcard games and iLottery games, as well as popular draw-based games like EUROJACKPOT, LOTTO and KENO.
Matthias Müller, International Lottery Systems Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Scientific Games, said: “Scientific Games is proud to be the primary technology partner for Deutsche Klassenlotterie Berlin. Together, we’re deploying our SYMPHONY lottery gaming system, which includes the versatile SYMPHONY multi-tenant platform and omnichannel player account management system that will serve several German lotteries. This enhanced lottery system ensures best-of-breed system integration throughout the life of our agreement.”

Justin Simporios is normally a sound sleeper who “can fall asleep anywhere” – but he had a very sleepless night, after learning he won an $80-million Lotto Max jackpot from the May 9, 2025 draw. This is the largest lottery jackpot ever won in B.C. and is also the largest jackpot ever won by a single individual in Canada.
“It was 10:30 p.m.,” recalled Simporios of the moment he realized he won. “I saw that someone won $80 million in Surrey. I was joking and told my wife ‘we’re millionaires!’ and she told me to stop making that joke. After, I manually checked each number before scanning [using the BCLC Lotto! I cried and shouted, ‘we’re millionaires!’”
The Surrey resident woke up his wife to share the news. “She was in complete disbelief and a bit mad at me because our daughter wasn’t feeling well.” Simporios’ wife luckily agreed this was a good reason to wake her.
While still in disbelief about his win, Simporios is ultimately most excited to share his windfall with his family. “I want to help my family and my wife’s family. I’ll pay off my sister’s medical school debt and help my mom retire early – just giving my family a head start in life.”
Giving back to the community in Surrey and B.C. is also a key priority for Simporios. “I’ve struggled before and needed help. Even if I can give an ounce of happiness, I want to help where we can. This feels like a dream.”
As an avid LA Lakers fan, Simporios mentioned he would like to see LeBron James play before James retires. He also plans to visit his family in the Philippines for a family reunion. “My wife and kid have never visited!”
On how it feels to win a record-breaking jackpot?
“The biggest change will be having more time with my wife and family. We want to live with a purpose – to help the community around us.”
Simporios purchased the winning ticket at the Walmart Supercentre in Central City on King George Boulevard in Surrey.
So far in 2025, B.C. lottery players have redeemed more than $101 million from Lotto Max. Lotto Max is a nationwide lottery game drawn on Tuesdays and Fridays after 7:30 p.m. (PST).
Players can purchase tickets at lottery retailers or at PlayNow.com. Winning numbers and group release forms can be found online at www.bclc.com. Players can check their lottery tickets anytime, anywhere on iOS and Android devices. Learn more about the BCLC Lotto!

A Legacy of Movement…
HIPTHER introduced Morning Networking Runs in 2022, bringing early risers together for invigorating starts in Prague, Riga, Budapest, and Warsaw. The initiative was met with open arms (and elevated heart rates), prompting us to add Morning Yoga Sessions in 2023, creating moments of calm and clarity before packed agendas.
These aren’t just wellness gimmicks. They reflect our deep commitment to human-centric growth, nurturing not just minds, but bodies and spirits too. Because in our world, strong connections are built not just in panels and presentations, but on running paths, yoga mats, and bike routes.
So whether you’re lacing up your sneakers or strapping on your helmet, we can’t wait to move with you in Vilnius!
…Beyond Conferences
To help our community stay active beyond conference days, we’ve also created two growing digital wellness spaces – where movement meets motivation:
👟 HIPTHER’s iGaming & TECH Run Club on Strava brings together runners from across the industry who are eager to stay fit, share their achievements, and inspire each other. Whether you’re training for your next 10K or just enjoying a weekend jog, this is your place to connect.
