Lotto.com, an online lottery site, has added new technology to make it less harmful to the earth. 

With this technology, digital QR codes are used instead of paper lottery play slips. The goal is to give people all over the country a digital lotto experience.

Also, since its start in 2022, the company has saved more than 5 million paper play slips.

People can buy draw-based and scratch lotto tickets at Lotto.com from any device, without having to download an app or make a deposit.

It also brings in customers, which helps raise money for things like state-funded organisations, education, and causes.

CEO of Lotto.com Inc. Thomas Metzger said, "By coming up with new tech-focused solutions and using these eco-friendly methods, Lotto.com is taking a major step towards a greener future."

"As a business that wants to create services and platforms that help the people we serve, Lotto.com will continue to prioritise and look into technology solutions that meet our commitment to environmental sustainability."

IGT just signed an eight-year deal with the Connecticut Lottery Corporation (CLC) to use its iLottery game platform and other parts that go with it.

With IGT's new website and mobile app, the CLC will be able to sell keno and draw-based lottery games for the first time.IGT is the main company that 25 American lotteries use for technology.

The deal can be renewed for another four years, and it's expected to end in May 2031. It is planned that the iLottery game platform will go live in the autumn of 2023.

A 10-year deal was also made between IGT and National Lottery PLC, which was recently elected to run Malta's national lottery. A second deal is likely to last until 2032.
