The Arizona Lottery is partnering with Pollard Banknote, using its ScanActiv Instants – which aims to combine security and innovation with "fun and familiarity."
Pollard Banknote has been building a number of lottery partnerships this year, with this deal being a continuation of that work.
In October, for example, the supplier partnered with the Texas Lottery to provide Scratch Ticket Manufacturing Services.
The new Arizona partnership prompted Gregg Edgar, Executive Director of the Arizona Lottery, to comment: "The new Scratch & Scan™ product line offers our players a fun and unique way to purchase and play our games, while providing Lottery retailers with a new opportunity to generate sales.
"Partnering with Pollard Banknote to leverage innovative new products like this allows the Arizona Lottery to continue to make significant financial contributions to state programs, which are important to Arizona communities, while providing players with an exciting new source of entertainment."
Meanwhile, Krista Stepa-Ammeter, Director, Sales & Marketing, Pollard Banknote, believes the Arizona Lottery is a "trailblazer" – but also thanked InComm Payments for its role in the deal.
She explained: "The Arizona Lottery has proven once again that it is a trailblazer in the industry, introducing players to a unique play experience and unparalleled convenience with ScanActiv Instants.
"This launch is the result of close collaboration with several partners, including InComm Payments and the Arizona Lottery. We value the trust the team has placed in us to bring its new product offering to life and look forward to its success in the market."
