LANSING, Mich., Oct. 18, 2021 /CNW/ - NeoPollard Interactive
LLC ("NeoPollard Interactive" or "NPi"), jointly owned by
Pollard Banknote Limited ("Pollard Banknote") (TSX: PBL) and
NeoGames S.A. (Nasdaq: NGMS), congratulates the New Hampshire
Lottery ("Lottery") on its third consecutive year of
industry-leading growth through the online channel. The New
Hampshire Lottery's program is the number two top-performing
iLottery program in the U.S. based on per capita sales.
In Fiscal Year ("FY") 2021, ending June
30, 2021, the New Hampshire Lottery's net gaming revenue
increased by 123% year-over-year, while simultaneously growing its
retail instant sales by 18%. Since the initial launch of the
Lottery's program in FY19, net gaming revenue generated through
iLottery has grown by an incredible 332%, firmly establishing the
viability of modernizing lottery offerings through the iLottery
channel in support of funding for education.
The New Hampshire Lottery continues to demonstrate its
commitment to its players and to the growth of its iLottery program
with recent launches of a new draw game online, as well as the
latest progressive jackpot innovation from NPi. The latest addition
to the Lottery's draw game portfolio—Gimme 5—offers players
up to five chances to win $100,000
each week and is an enhancement of NPi's NeoDraw Central Gaming
System and Gaming Systems Operations.
The Lottery also recently launched VIP
Ultra—the first in a family of linked progressive
jackpot games from NeoGames Studio. VIP Ultra is available
on nhlottery.com and allows players to share one rolling jackpot
for all games in the series. Each ticket purchase contributes to a
growing jackpot that resets once it is won. Additional progressive
jackpot games are also scheduled to launch in the near future to
add to the growing jackpot.
"The New Hampshire Lottery has proven to be a leader in the
iLottery space since launching its iLottery program in partnership
with NPi over three years ago. This was particularly evident
through our joint appeal of the Federal Wire Act and ruling by the
Department of Justice, which validated state-run lotteries' ability
to sell lottery products online," said Liz
Siver, General Manager of NeoPollard Interactive. "We are
extremely proud of our successful partnership with the New
Hampshire Lottery, and we remain dedicated to delivering
cutting-edge technology, engaging game content, and value-added
support through our Power Suite of iLottery services, to support a
cause that we couldn't be more passionate about—the important work
that the New Hampshire Lottery does for education."
"As one of the top-performing iLottery programs per capita in
the U.S., the New Hampshire Lottery is proud of the revenue we've
generated for New Hampshire
schools since the launch of our program three years ago," said
Charlie McIntyre, Executive Director
of the New Hampshire Lottery. "As we look to achieve more
record-breaking success in the years to come, the New Hampshire
Lottery will continue to uphold our mission to maximize proceeds
for public education by leveraging innovative technology to deliver
a secure, responsible, and entertaining lottery experience to our
players."
Since its inception in 1964, the New Hampshire Lottery has been
dedicated to supporting education throughout the state. To date,
the Lottery has contributed over $2
billion in revenue to schools in New Hampshire. To learn more, visit
