Scientific Games and the Ohio Lottery have extended their successful partnership on Scratch-Off Games management and SCiQ retail point-of-sale technology for two years. The Scientific Games Enhanced Partnership with the Ohio Lottery began in 2019, responsibly driving four consecutive years of growth in Scratch-Off revenues and funding for education in the state. The Ohio Lottery is ranked among the Top 20 lotteries worldwide for instant Scratch-Off game performance (La Fleur’s 2023 World Almanac).

Managed under the Scientific Games Enhanced Partnership, Ohio Lottery Scratch-Off sales grew from $1.6 billion in fiscal year 2019 to more than $2.3 billion in fiscal year 2023. The Ohio Lottery achieved an 8.8% compound annual growth rate compared to an average 5% CAGR for the top 10 U.S. lotteries (weekly per capita sales FY 2019 to FY 2023).

The company also deployed its SCiQ retail ecosystem at more than 800 Ohio Lottery retailers, including two of the largest convenience store chains in the U.S. and the largest grocery chain in the U.S. SCiQ improves Scratch-Off inventory management and the retailer’s experience selling lottery products while providing enhanced security and real-time, store-level sales analytics.

The partnership has also provided Ohio Lottery retailers with innovative technology to easily manage and sell Scratch-off games and helped us add key convenience store chains like Circle K and Speedway to make games more accessible to players throughout the state.

Facilitated from the company’s Ohio operations near the Lottery’s headquarters in Cleveland, the Scientific Games Enhanced Partnership optimizes the Scratch-Offs products through portfolio management and game design services, data-driven analytics, advanced logistics, licensed brand services, and retail sales and marketing support. The program is used by more than 20 lotteries worldwide, including 10 of the Top 20-performing instant game lotteries.
