The company says it remains an important supplier to the Michigan Lottery.

It was awarded a new five-year contract by the Michigan Lottery in March to be the primary supplier for their instant tickets.

The company also says it continues to be a partner in the U.S. as part of NeoPollard Interactive LLC which currently includes five long-term iLottery contracts.
