We look forward to continue providing ONCE with leading technology solutions for its lottery system.”
Brightstar has also signed a two-year contract extension with the New York State Gaming Commission to continue providing lottery technology and services to the New York Lottery.
“Brightstar is dedicated to continue fulfilling our contractual obligations through this two-year contract extension and supporting the New York Lottery’s successful track record serving New York public schools,” said Scott Gunn, Brightstar chief operating officer for North America Lottery.
