Texas Lottery Launches First In-Lane Solution in the U.S.

Texas Lottery players can now get their Powerball and MegaMillions tickets while in the checkout lane at participating Dollar General stores! Carmanah is proud to provide the Wireless Jackpot Signs for this project, collaborating with Texas Lottery, IGT, InComm, Pollard Banknote, and Dollar General in launching the first in-lane lottery solution in the United States.

The In-Lane Jackpot Signs are powered by Carmanah’s In-Lane Jackpot Sign Monitoring & Support Software, an Internet-based solution that requires no lottery terminal integration. This allows the Texas Lottery to communicate jackpot values and monitor signs at Dollar General locations, which have never sold lottery before and do not have lottery terminals.

“Texas is beyond excited to introduce the first ‘in-lane’ lottery solution in the United States,” said Gary Grief, executive director of the Texas Lottery. “By integrating national lottery products with a retailer’s point-of-sale system, we’ve taken a huge and innovative step to bring games directly to our players in the most convenient approach possible.”

A big congratulations to our friends at the Texas Lottery! For more information, see the official press release from the Texas Lottery here: https://www.txlottery.org/export/sites/lottery/Documents/news_releases/2019/11-18-19_In-Lane_QUICKTICKET.pdf
