What would that look like?  What are the consumer shopping trends and expectations that will drive Retailer actions to meet those expectations?  And how is Lottery aligning with Retailer actions to meet consumer demand for digitizing the shopping experience, for alternative ways to execute transactions (i.e. non-cash, Mobile Wallet, etc.), for innovation of POS’s and in-store messaging and consumer engagement strategies, etc.?  Let’s have a frank discussion about consumer and industry trends, the limitations of Lottery to align with those trends, how to overcome those limitations or at least isolate and focus on some actionable ways for Lottery to meet the needs of modern retailing and consumer expectations.  This discussion is not about the games themselves but about the in-store consumer shopping experience.
