Long-term happiness for Scientific Games in Georgia yesterday, as the Iowa Lottery Board voted 5-0 to give Scientific a 10-year, $50 million contract -- the longest in the lottery’s 25-year history -- to install and run a new lottery computer system at 2,500 locations around the state.
It will go online in July, and will enable the Iowa Lottery to sell Powerball tickets at places where only scratch-offs are available now.
The CEO of the lottery, Terry Rich, says the new system also will enable the state to provide faster service to its customers.
Scientific won the contract over two competitors.
