Operations

A manufacturing error on the Holiday Bonus Bucks Scratch game presented challenges to the Lottery and its vendor partners. Research initiatives provided valuable insights into player preferences. And a statewide newspaper insert gave readers a look at Lottery games, retailers, and beneficiaries over the past 25years.

Product Developments

Nebraska’s first $25,000 a year for life prize was won by a Lucky for Life player in Spalding. Lotto voucher promotions continued to drive registrations to the MVP Club at nelottery.com and generate incremental increases in the Power Play and Megaplier add-on game features. And a new approach to game distribution improved the availability of new Scratch game shortly after they were launched.

Strong Sales

Sales of all Nebraska Lottery games (Scratch and Lotto) for the fiscal year totaled $192.2 million.
