The Paraná State Lottery (Lottopar) and the Finance Secretary of Mato Grosso do Sul (Sefaz/MS) have formalized a cooperation agreement focused on improving state lottery operations through data exchange and joint initiatives.
Mato Grosso do Sul and Paraná are both states in southern Brazil. Lottopar runs Paraná’s state lottery, while Sefaz/MS oversees Mato Grosso do Sul’s finances and tax collection.
The agreement, which will run for five years, does not involve financial transfers. Instead, the emphasis is on mutual collaboration and the sharing of technical expertise, operational experience and best practices in structuring and managing lottery services.
According to Lottopar President Daniel Romanowski, such collaboration is “vital for strengthening regulation and addressing illegal gambling in Brazil.”
He noted that Paraná has become a reference point for enforcement against unlicensed activity, while newer markets also bring fresh perspectives to the discussion.

The cooperation establishes several areas of focus, where both institutions will share technical material and guidance to optimize operations, organise joint projects and events.
It also makes training opportunities available to staff from both states. Professional development is seen as central to building stronger regulatory frameworks.
Data protection is also a pillar of the agreement and both sides committed to compliance with Brazil’s General Data Protection Law, ensuring confidentiality and security in the exchange of information.
