New Hampshire Lottery Joins Mega Money Jackpots
Follows multi-state eInstant record jackpot award of $5.8 million
Instant Win Gaming (IWG), a leading supplier of eInstant games to NASPL and WLA-member lotteries, congratulates the New Hampshire Lottery on joining the Company’s multi-state eInstant progressive, Mega Money Jackpots.
The New Hampshire Lottery launched Jackpot Spectacular, its first game in the Mega Money Jackpots linked progressive pool, for players in the Granite State on April 24th. New Hampshire joins Pennsylvania and Virginia in offering Mega Money Jackpots linked games.
Additionally, IWG congratulates the Virginia Lottery along with its Mega Money Jackpots player who won a record-setting $5.8 million prize. The win sets another new U.S. iLottery record for the largest eInstant prize.
Mega Money Jackpots launched in July 2023, and over the past nine months the game has created eight millionaires. Since launch, more than 240 players across the participating lotteries have won Mega and Minor jackpots totaling more than $20 million.
The amount and frequency of these prizes showcases the excitement of IWG’s Mega Money Jackpots. To achieve this, select eInstants from participating lotteries each contribute a small percentage of the sales to fund the two progressive prize tiers, with IWG administering the settlement of jackpot prize monies on a turnkey basis.
The multi-state eInstant progressive jackpot is powered by IWG’s InstantJackpots. Since all functionality is contained within IWG’s InstantRGS (remote game server), no development support is required by a lottery’s iLottery platform provider. Additionally, new lotteries can join the system regardless of their iLottery platform provider.
Charlie McIntyre, Executive Director at New Hampshire Lottery, said: “Our industry has a proud track record of collaborating across state lotteries. We’re excited to join Mega Money Jackpots and to bring the excitement of it outsized prizes to our players. We know that our contribution will further enhance the game for everyone involved, and we look forward to creating some new millionaires here in New Hampshire.”
Rhydian Fisher, CEO at IWG, said: “Kudos to the team at New Hampshire Lottery. By joining Mega Money Jackpots, collectively we can award even more million dollar prizes to lottery players. Not only is the game frequently creating new millionaires, but it has also been a leading catalyst for new player signups. Fingers crossed that some new millionaires will be created in New Hampshire very soon.”

NOVOVISION Implemented at the University of Iceland Lottery
The University of Iceland Lottery UIL (Happdrætti Háskóla Íslands) was established in 1933 for the purpose of funding the university buildings as well as the purchase of research equipment and other supplies. It is licensed to operate three types of lotteries in the Icelandic market: the traditional class lottery that was established upon its foundation, instant scratch cards, and some 500 gaming terminals which are currently operated in 19 venues across Iceland. Lottery games are very popular in Iceland and generally used as a means of raising money for community purposes.
The University of Iceland Lottery UIL (Happdrætti Háskóla Íslands) has implemented a new platform for gaming terminals in an aim to improve operational efficiency while ensuring a responsible approach to gaming. In a public tender, NOVOMATIC was chosen as the provider of the new CMS: NOVOVISION is the selected management solution, comprising in phase one a variety of functionalites including slots accounting, TiTo, AML, Business Intelligence and the NV smart Staff App in addition to providing the required IT infrastructure for all UIL venues. More system functionality is to be added at a later stage.
The system roll-out across all 19 venues was achieved in a timely manner during ongoing operations and with minimum disruption to the players. Apart from the manifold new functionalities on the operator side, the high level of system integration allows UIL customers to now redeem their tickets online via the UIL Players’ App directly to their bank accounts.
Fabian Schnötzinger, Market Coordination NBS, said: “This was a very special project that yielded immediate progress in ongoing operations. Gaining an in-depth understanding of the on-site requirements and implementing the integration together with the UIL team was a very positive experience for us, knowing that NOVOVISION would generate significant value in several areas. It was also the expertise and high level of commitment of the UIL team that made this project special: They addressed topics openly, provided quick feedback and made time in their schedules for implementation. This reliability and hands-on approach were real success factors. I am already looking forward to our cooperation in the next stages of the NOVOVISION implementation.”
“We are pleased to announce our collaboration with NOVOMATIC on this project. Slot machines are an important part of our business, and this technology will provide us with better access to information, helping us to responsibly manage our operations and enhance the player experience,” said Bryndís Hrafnkelsdóttir, CEO of UIL.
“The integration of the NOVOVISION platform has proceeded smoothly due to effective planning and great collaboration between UIL and NOVOMATIC. This platform offers features that will support us in making informed decisions without compromising our commitment to responsible gaming. As we move forward, we see opportunities to expand our service offerings and develop new solutions, including the upcoming implementation of electronic player cards. With NOVOVISION, we are well positioned to address the evolving needs of our customers while maintaining our focus on responsible gaming practices. This new platform is a key element of our strategy to enhance our operations and support our mission in the gaming market,” she added.
