VIDEO: PGRI interviews Evgeniy Vlasenko, Vice President, MSL State Lottery Ukraine
Click here to watch is the video interview with Evgeniy Vlasenko, Vice President, MSL State Lottery Ukraine
Paul Jason conducted the zoom interview with Evgeniy Vlasenko on Friday May 13. Evgeniy has managed MSL State Lottery in Ukraine for the last eleven years, has served on the European Lottery (EL) Executive Committee for the last eight years until 2021, and is a personal friend to myself and so many others in our industry. He is speaking to us from a safe house in Ukraine. The miracle of strength, faith, and fortitude of the people of Ukraine inspires awe and admiration in everyone around the world. We ended up talking more about life in Ukraine and the war with Russia than about the MSL Lottery. But the MSL Lottery is still operating, and the staff continues to work under extreme circumstances as they try to raise funds to support the resistance effort. The people of Ukraine are looking forward hopefully to the time that they will be able to begin the process of rebuilding.

iLOTTERY ROUND TABLE
iLottery: There is so much to talk about as 2021 promises to be a very big year for more U.S. states to authorize iLottery, and for players to want to avail themselves of online options. What should all lotteries be doing now to position themselves for the possibility that iLottery may be soon approved in their jurisdiction? What are the key drivers for success in the world of online lottery? How are the online and off-line channels integrated to be mutually supportive, engage the players on multiple channels, drive traffic to stores, and otherwise optimize the whole lottery omni-channel ecosystem? What is the value of social-media based initiatives that nurture the online connection with the consumer? And how do we stay close to the player amidst all these technical issues? As one industry leader observed: “It’s not just the plumbing we need to focus on, it’s the players.”
