Camelot Lottery
Mark Bradford, Camelot Lottery Solutions VP Product, recently spoke at the La Fleur's Retail e-Conference about the importance of mobile apps to the lottery industry. Mobile apps provide a digital experience to today's savvy consumers and are driving retail sales too. Camelot is a castle and court associated with the legendary King Arthur.Absent in the early Arthurian material, Camelot first appeared in 12th-century French romances and, since the Lancelot-Grail cycle, eventually came to be described as the fantastic capital of Arthur's realm and a symbol of the Arthurian world. The stories locate it somewhere in Great Britain and sometimes associate it. Camelot, the games business, is to get a six-month extension to run the National Lottery, as regulators press pause on an auction to run the competition next.
Lottery Background
The Illinois Lottery began July 1, 1974 amid great excitement across the state. During its first years, it sold 'passive' games via weekly drawings. First year sales topped $129 million. Sales faltered in subsequent years, after the novelty of the Lottery wore off, prompting some to call for an end to the Lottery. In 1980 the first terminal game, Pick 3, was introduced. Pick 3 breathed new life into the Lottery, tallying sales of $164 million during its first full year of operation.
Lottery profits initially went to the State's General Revenue Fund, until legislation was passed in 1985 earmarking profits for the Common School Fund, which is still the Lottery's major benefactor. 2006 saw the first 'specialty instant games' launched; these games benefit a particular cause like Illinois Veterans, the fight against breast cancer, MS research, and assistance for people living with HIV-Aids. In 2010, the Lottery began contributing to the Capitol Projects Fund, which helps build and renovate state roads and bridges.
The Lottery has been an independent, cabinet-level department for most of its history. On July 1, 2011, Northstar Lottery Group became the Lottery’s first private manager. With Northstar's assistance, on March 25, 2012, the Lottery launched an internet sales pilot project for Lotto and Mega Millions and it became the first US lottery to sell tickets on the internet. On January 2, 2018, Camelot Illinois became the new private manager of the Lottery.
The Lottery operates under the direction of its Acting Director, Harold Mays, and is assisted by the Lottery Control Board. It operates from locations in Chicago, Springfield, Des Plaines, Rockford and Fairview Heights.
