NEOPOLLARD INTERACTIVE CONGRATULATES THE NORTH CAROLINA EDUCATION LOTTERY ON LAUNCHING Digital Instants

NeoPollard Interactive LLC, jointly owned by Pollard Banknote Ltd. and NeoGames S.A., has congratulated the North Carolina Education Lottery (NCEL or lottery) on the inaugural launch of its portfolio of digital instant games. Along with the launch of this new gaming vertical, NCEL awarded NPi a two-year contract extension for its on-line play and player loyalty programs and its mobile application and related support, fortifying the company's partnership with the lottery.

For the first time ever, NCEL's players can now play digital instant games delivered by the NeoGames Studio on their desktop computer or via a full-featured mobile application developed by Pollard Digital Solutions. These games leverage the success of the lottery's on-line program powered by NeoGames' technology platforms and by NPI's power suite of services, including Ignite Player Marketing and Player Support.

The launch of Digital Instants provides NCEL with exciting new opportunities to increase player engagement and maximize revenue for public education across the state. With compelling offerings that include popular and successful games like Magic Winnings, Fortunes of Cleopatra, Frost & Flame, and others, coupled with proven play mechanics like key number match, symbol/prize match, cascade and find the symbol, there is something for every player to enjoy as they begin exploring this new gaming frontier.

"This is a great day for our lottery, our players and also for North Carolina's education programs," said Mark Michalko, executive director, North Carolina Education Lottery. "Launching Digital Instants creates another essential way we can provide innovative on-line entertainment to an even wider player demographic that should see real value in engaging with us through this on-line lottery offering. We're confident NPi's portfolio of Digital Instants will strike all the right notes with our existing lottery players, as well as new demographics of players who prefer to play on-line."

"NPi is thrilled to extend our collaborative relationship with the North Carolina Education Lottery," said Colin Hadden, general manager, NeoPollard Interactive. "Adding this new Digital Instants element to NCEL's on-line play program is an important milestone in establishing a truly omnichannel gaming hub for its players, and we're excited to showcase how this addition complements our existing industry-leading on-line technologies, allowing players to seamlessly engage with the Lottery across all available channels."

NPi's game content is currently live in North Carolina, Michigan, Virginia, New Hampshire and Alberta.

Since its inception in 2005, the North Carolina Education Lottery has raised more than $10.2-billion for education programs across all of North Carolina's 100 counties. Last year alone, the lottery raised more than $1-billion for education programs.
