Under the terms of the agreement, IGT will deploy its high-performing Aurora™ central system, a feature component of IGT's integrated lottery solution, OMNIA™. Additionally, IGT will provide upgraded Wizard back-office business applications, replace existing terminals with newly launched Retailer Pro S2 terminals with WinCheck S2 peripherals, provide new Keno Show Controllers with WiFi capabilities and deliver communication network upgrades.

"For more than 20 years, IGT has been a trusted partner to the Tennessee Education Lottery, providing innovative solutions that have supported our consistent growth," said Rebecca Paul, Tennessee Education Lottery Corporation President and Chief Executive Officer. "One of our core missions is supporting educational programs in Tennessee, and since our inception, we have raised more than $7.5 billion for our state. We look forward to continuing our strong relationship with IGT, whose advanced technology will assist in responsibly increasing both sales and our contributions to Tennessee education."

"IGT has been committed to bringing best-in-class lottery solutions to the Tennessee Education Lottery since its inception," said Jay Gendron, IGT Chief Operation Officer, Global Lottery. "Through this nine-year contract extension, we are excited to bring new technological upgrades to the Lottery, providing them the systems and equipment needed to drive performance for its players and the good causes it serves in the state."

The upgraded technology will provide the TEL with intuitive, user-friendly applications, tools and reporting capabilities. Components of the central system, including Performance Wizard, Sales Wizard, Learning Wizard, and Retailer Wizard will streamline operations for optimal functionality. The introduction of IGT's high-performance, high-volume Retailer Pro S2 terminals with WinCheck S2 peripherals will enable the TEL to easily add new features across multiple point-of-sale terminals simultaneously and allow players to quickly and reliably see if they are draw game or instant ticket winners.

As the global lottery market leader, IGT is the primary technology provider to 26 of the 46 lotteries in the U.S., eight of the world's largest 10 lotteries and 16 of the world's top 25 lotteries. For more information, visit IGT.com and follow us on LinkedIn.
