“Brightstar will be well-positioned to focus on driving innovation and growing the potential of the lottery business responsibly for the entertainment of players, the success of our customers, and the support of the good causes they fund in their communities,” Marco Sala, Executive Chair of the Board of Brightstar.
As Brightstar, the Company will build on its legacy of delivering unparalleled player experiences and results for its lottery customers around the globe and across the entire lottery value chain, including as a lottery operator, retail and digital systems and technology provider, full-service instant ticket services provider and game creator. The Company will continue to modernize core technologies and blend heritage with innovation, providing responsible, sustainable solutions to customers around the world through its products, services, technology and insights.
