Intralot Groups’ subsidiary Intralot Australia has publicly congratulated Lotterywest, the state lottery of Western Australia, over its new relief fund initiative which is set to provide ‘ continued support for community groups impacted by COVID-19’.
The praise by Intralot is due to Lotterywest establishing a $159 million COVID-19 relief fund which will help support organisations which are helping people experiencing hardship during the global health pandemic.
Dr. Chris Dimitriadis, Intralot Group CEO commented: “We would like to congratulate Lotterywest for establishing a pandemic-solidarity response fund to support the wider Western Australian communities and economies affected by the COVID-19 outbreak. We look forward to continuing working with Lotterywest and enabling the lottery with our technology towards fulfilling its purpose in contributing to good causes.”
Lotterywest’s project is funded by taking all of the firm’s available profits from every jackpot, draw and ticket, with money going directly into the fund in order to assist the Western Australian community.
Marios Mitromaras, CEO, Intralot Australia and Intralot Gaming Services added: “We have been privileged to be selected from Lotterywest since 2007 as its Technology Vendor and we are proud to be contributing all these years with our Gaming Technology. Lotteries globally provide funds to the local economies, communities, and vulnerable groups and Lotterywest’s Covid-19 Relief Fund is proof of its social empathy and support.”
The project rounds of a busy seven days for the state lottery with the firm also announcing that it has struck a partnership with Jumbo Interactive to provide its online platform to Lotterywest.
As a result, the initial three year deal will see Lotterywest be provided with the firm’s Powered by Jumbo platform, with its integration set to be completed by December 21.
