“OLG is always looking for new ways to reimagine lottery and offer players more exciting chances to bring home the win,” says Nancy Kennedy, OLG’s Chief Lottery and Customer Officer. “And we’re delivering an even bigger win for people across Ontario with 100% of profits from GOLD PURSUIT going back into their communities.”

“I look forward to greater results with the future eventual arrival of iGaming and iLottery in New York., said Sen. Joe Addabbo.”    "New York’s schools and small businesses win every time a lottery ticket is purchased,” Brian O’Dwyer, chair of the NYSGC(New York State Gaming Commission), said in a press release.

The “Lifetime Millions” scratch ticket will offer a top prize of $1 million a year for life, officials said Thursday. “To differentiate this ticket from our first $50 ticket that featured grand prizes of $25 million, Lifetime Millions will give players the chance to win a million dollars a year for the rest of their lives,” Mark William Bracken, the lottery’s executive director, said in a statement. “The prize is guaranteed for a minimum of 20 years, but has the potential to be paid out for many, many more.”

“This year too, Germans were able to escape everyday life, dream or even find happiness with our safe, responsible lottery products. We were able to distribute around €4.0 billion in winnings across all types of games. The high winnings usually receive the most media attention. But we are experiencing the joy that even the many smaller winnings bring to game participants nationwide,” says Axel Holthaus, managing director of LOTTO Niedersachsen, the company currently in charge of the DLTB.

“Giving back to communities statewide in support of a better quality of life for all Arizonans is at the heart of the Lottery’s mission,” said Arizona Lottery CEO Alec Thomson. “Lottery revenue provides vital funding for programs and services that help some of our state’s most vulnerable populations, including Arizonans experiencing poverty and homelessness.”

Helene Keeley, Director of the Delaware Lottery, said "We knew that we needed to move forward. We knew that the competition from the other states was growing, and we needed to go online and we needed to launch as quickly as possible. We deferred to the [legislative] working group but then we had to make an executive decision," Keeley stated.

“What an incredible beginning to the New Year for Powerball!” said Drew Svitko, Powerball Product Group Chair and Pennsylvania Lottery Executive Director. “In addition to our big jackpot winner, there are hundreds of good causes supported by U.S. lotteries that will receive further funding from this jackpot run. Thank you to our players for making this possible! Happy New Year!”
