Overall we are very pleased with the way everything came together on launch day. |
Overall, a very huge, successful startup. |
That kind of lets the public know that yes, there are winners of the game, for anybody who may be skeptical. |
The logo is symbolic of the state of North Carolina. If somebody's standing 50 to 100 feet away and they see it, they know that lottery tickets are probably on sale in that store. |
The stacks of mail are piling in by the moment. It's great to see that those interested in being able to sell lottery tickets range from national chain retail stores and gas stations to individually owned general stores at every corner of the state. |
There are many different pieces of this giant puzzle that need to come together. The pieces that must come together include installation of ticket terminals, training retailers, testing software applications and so much more. There are many people working very hard behind the scenes in such areas as administration, finance, sales and computers to help raise money for education and make this historical event happen. In addition, numerous state agencies are providing assistance to us, as necessary. |
These two instant scratch-off games will be in addition to the four already available to players. We are very pleased with the sales we have had so far and we are extremely excited about the funds generated for education in North Carolina. |
They thought they were pretty good. |
This is probably the smoothest startup I have been involved with. This earns all the employees their startup bonus. |
This is probably the smoothest startup I've ever been a part of. |
We conducted an evaluation that was fair, comprehensive, had the greatest integrity and achieved the best results. |
We got a five-day early start. That means $25 million in sales that you never would have had without an early start. |
We got the best price of any state. |
We received and negotiated the lowest prices and best offering of any other recent lottery in any state. |
We want to see first how the lottery is received. Based on all of the polls, we're making the assumption that it's going to be very highly received. But a poll is a poll, and until we actually see what happens when tickets go on sale, we'll have a better idea by then. |
