Panel Discussion: Moving the Needle Now; Maximizing Short-Term Results

We can’t control jackpot rolls and economic trends.  So, what are the levers we can control?  Let’s talk rubber-hits-road issues (like promotional, marketing, sales and distribution and game development strategies) that make a difference to sales right now. How might Lottery’s efforts and resources be channeled for maximum impact and ROI, producing optimal outcomes/results, and driving sales today and this quarter?  How do macro-economic and consumer-spending trends affect lottery player-ship?  How do inflation, higher gasoline prices, or economic hardship in general affect lottery spend?     

Moderator: Ryan Mindell, Deputy Executive Director, Texas Lottery

Panelists:

James Carey, Executive Director, New Jersey Lottery

Max Goldstein, Vice President Sales – Americas, Carmanah Signs

Gary Grief, Executive Director, Texas Lottery

Sarah Taylor, Executive Director, Hoosier Lottery

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.

The Big Picture:  Sometimes things don’t happen for decades, and sometimes decades happen in weeks.  The world is changing at warp-speed.  Following the pandemic, how do we think consumer behaviors will change and how will that impact the lottery industry … Are we prepared to optimize on the opportunities and navigate the challenges?   How will big-picture macro-economic/sociological/ cultural changes filter down to reshape specific industries … like retail, recreational gaming, and Lottery?  How might consumer lifestyles and player behaviour be permanently changed as a result of the pandemic?  And how have operational changes necessitated by the pandemic revealed new and better solutions, best-practices, and ways to operate that will continue on into the future?

The Big-Picture Roundtable Leader:

Gordon Medenica, Director, Maryland Lottery and Gaming and

Lead Director of Mega Millions

Panelists:

Richard Bateson, Chief Commercial Officer, JUMBO Interactive
