Minnesota Lottery awards mobile app contract to Pollard Banknote
The move indicates more online options for lottery participants.
Pollard Banknote – the Canadian designer of lottery games – announced on Wednesday that it has been awarded a Mobile Convenience App Development Services Contract from the Minnesota Lottery. This contract is the latest in what is a longstanding relationship between the two.
“The Minnesota Lottery is excited to partner with Pollard Banknote to bring a new mobile app to our players,” said Adam Prock, Executive Director of the Minnesota Lottery.
“We look forward to working with Pollard Banknote to bring the Minnesota Lottery app to the App Store and Google Play in order to drive excitement among our players and generate additional awareness and proceeds to the programs the Lottery supports throughout the state.”
Bryon Peterson, Pollard Banknote’s Senior Director of Sales and Marketing, also looks forward to the new contract. “Pollard Banknote is honored to expand our longstanding partnership with the Minnesota Lottery to deliver a new mobile app to its players,” he said.
The new app will allow players to look up winning numbers, jackpots, as well as create and save their digital play slips, which also can be scanned at local retails. Players will be able to scan their tickets to receive entries into the Lottery’s 2nd Chance program for additional chances to win cash and prizes.
The app will also be enabled with opt-in social sharing capabilities that will allow players to share their winning experiences by connecting with various social media channels.
“A new app will enable us to engage with players directly and provide them with convenient access to many facets of the Minnesota Lottery,” said Prock.
In addition to the other features, players will also have access to convenience features such as ticket checking functionality, GPS lottery retailer locator, as well as information about the Lottery, including its Responsible Gaming program.
“The launch of the new app will play a fundamental role in establishing the Lottery’s digital presence and expand its online engagement,” Peterson said. “We know firsthand that technology-driven lottery products are an excellent way to build effective and direct connections with players, and we look forward to continuing this successful partnership with the Lottery that will benefit Minnesotans for years to come.”
