Jumbo Interactive has entered into a long-term agreement with Returned & Services League of Australia to power RSL Queensland’s flagship Dream Home Art Union lottery program.
The initial five-year software license agreement will see RSL Queensland transition the lottery onto the Jumbo Lottery Platform (JLP), building on the existing reseller arrangement under which the lottery’s tickets are sold on OzLotteries.com.
Dream Home Art Union is Australia’s largest prize home lottery and generates approximately A$200 million in annual ticket sales.
“Jumbo first started selling RSL art union lottery tickets on-line in 2001,” said Jumbo managing director, CEO and founder Mike Veverka. “Twenty-four years on, I couldn’t be more delighted to again partner with RSL Queensland on the Dream Home Art Union Lottery.
“It’s an iconic program, and together we look forward to helping strengthen and grow the program to deliver even greater impact for veterans and their families.”
RSL Queensland CEO Rob Skoda said: “The Dream Home Art Union is a vital source of funding for our work supporting veterans and their families. Partnering with Jumbo gives us access to a contemporary lottery platform and proven expertise in delivering large-scale lottery programs.
“With Jumbo as our partner, we’re confident the Dream Home Art Union program will continue to grow, enabling us to increase the support we provide to the veteran community.”
The agreement reinforces Jumbo’s position in the domestic B2B charity lottery sector, where it provides its platform to the likes of Mater Foundation, Endeavour Foundation, Deaf Lottery, and now RSL Queensland.
