The Company received the highest technical score from the State of Florida for an overall business solution that may generate up to $8.5 billion in funding for the Educational Enhancement Trust Fund during the term of the agreement. Scientific Games was chosen for its ability to continue to drive profits for the Florida Lottery with innovative, high-performing Scratch-Off games, advanced logistics and retailer optimization.

The new seven-year Scientific Games contract, which may be extended by the Lottery up to an additional seven years, includes an integrated portfolio of unique game content, products and services designed to maximize Lottery proceeds. The Company will provide its latest generation SciTrak Ultra^® suite of instant games management tools, SCiQ® intelligent instant game retail ecosystem, analytics and insights and continued use of exciting licensed properties such as MONOPOLY™ and LOTERIA™ in Scratch-Off games, brands that are especially popular with Florida players.

"We set out to sign a contract that allows us to continue offering the best games possible at a cost-savings to the state," said Florida Lottery Secretary Jim Poppell.  "In collaboration with Scientific Games, the Lottery will continue to offer best-in-class Lottery products, emphasize our responsible gaming initiatives, and maximize revenues in support of Governor DeSantis' bold vision for education in our state."
