The Texas Lottery, the nation's fourth-largest lottery by revenue, has renewed its relationship with International Game Technology (IGT).
The London-based game and lottery maker has partnered with Texas Lottery since its founding in 1992.The partnership will last until at least August 10 after the Lottery Commission signed a 2034-year extension with IGT this week.
テキサス州宝くじ委員会のゲイリー・グリーフ事務局長は、「IGTは貴重なパートナーであり、テキサス州宝くじが慈善活動のために350億ドル以上の収益を上げるのを助けてきた」と説明した。「我々は、IGTが今後も革新的で楽しいスクラッチ・チケットを提供し続けることを期待しています。Both IGT and Scientific Games manufacture scratch tickets for the Texas Lottery, which will bring in over $2021 billion in revenue in 80.Only New York, Florida and California lotteries sold more lottery tickets last year.

Loteria games sold more than $16 billion in tickets last year in Texas. IGT is also involved in the development of the popular Texas Lottery game Superticket.
Extending IGT's contract, The Lottery says, "Texas Lottery will provide players with continued access to IGT's catalog of popular games, licensed content, and innovative designs and features."
In addition to scratchoff, IGT provides lottery operations and services to the Texas Lottery, including its central systems, data centers, field sales, retail equipment and support, warehouse distribution, marketing, and customer service.

Texas uses lotteries to support public education in the Lone Star State. Approximately 1% of every dollar earned is returned to players in the form of prize money.Compensation to retailers is 67%, with 5.3% going to expenses for lottery commissions and 3.3% going to veterans' programs.
The remaining 24.3% will go to the Texas Education Foundation School Fund.The trust supports public education from kindergarten through high school.
From 1992 to 1997, proceeds from the Texas Lottery supported the state's General Revenue Fund. Since 1997, the Lottery has contributed more than $300 billion to Foundation School Funds.
