NeoPollard Interactive announces additions to North Carolina Education Lottery
The company, owned by Pollard Banknote and NeoGames, has increased online lottery options by expanding on existing games.
NeoPollard Interactive (NPI) has announced the expansion of the North Carolina Education Lottery online offerings with Pick 3 and Pick 4. These games accompany the Lottery’s existing online draw games: Powerball, Mega Millions, Lucky for Life and Carolina Cash 5.
NPI’s NeoDraw Interactive Central Gaming System enables players to purchase Pick 3 and Pick 4 tickets online for up to 14 upcoming draws. Lottery number selection can be done in several ways. Players can either use a “Quick Pick” random number generator, try a feature that saves favorite numbers or create a new number set.
The North Carolina Education Lottery’s online program saw sales growth of 224% since launching with NPI in 2020. In 2022, 22% of draw games sold in North Carolina were sold through the Lottery’s Online Play program.
The Lottery’s revenue goes toward improving several facets of the Tar Heel State education system: building and repairing schools, offering college scholarships and grants, supporting school systems staff and transportation costs and providing a free academic Pre-K program to at-risk children.
Mark Michalko, Executive Director of the North Carolina Education Lottery, said, “The innovation we deliver through Online Play aligns with our vision to offer entertainment that enriches the lives of our players and supports our commitment to increase the Lottery’s funding for education initiatives.”
The North Carolina Education Lottery has raised more than $9.98bn since it began; in 2022 it generated $929.8m in proceeds toward state education.
Moti Malul, Co-CEO of NeoPollard Interactive, said, “The year-over-year growth experienced by the Lottery’s Online Play program is a testament to players’ demand for access to lottery games through their preferred channels. We look forward to continued innovation and growth in the Online Play program through our partnership with the Lottery.”
