Vision – More Players, More Fun, More ResponsibilityGrowing a lottery responsibly means attracting more players andappropriately nurturing existing players. The <strong>Northstar</strong> <strong>Lottery</strong> Group’smodel is one of sustainable development through growth of the player baseby attracting new customer groups and re-engaging with lapsed players.Responsible gaming principles will be embedded in all operationalprocesses of the Group. A comprehensive program will be put in placeto set responsible gaming goals, measure results, and report on progress.It is important to note that responsible gaming programs should not beaccepted as a reasoning to explain per<strong>for</strong>mance below that of comparablelotteries. We firmly believe that effective responsible gaming programs,drawn from our best practice experiences, <strong>for</strong>m a bond with customers thatpromotes, not inhibits, responsible play.We also recognize that the greatest asset of any lottery is its brand.Our plan is to substantially elevate the <strong>Illinois</strong> <strong>Lottery</strong>’s brand equity witha goal of shaping its public image to rein<strong>for</strong>ce and enhance the traditionalvalues of transparency, integrity, and responsibility, combined with morecontemporary goals of innovation, energy, entertainment, agility, andmarket responsiveness.Figure 1 – 3:Integrated Management: The <strong>Illinois</strong> <strong>Lottery</strong> of tomorrow, under privatemanagement, provides the flexibility and agility to promote growth.Executive Summary 1 – 5


To keep pace with the role the Internet has in our daily routines, lotteriesalso have an opportunity to evolve beyond retailing in traditional physicallocations. The interactive arena is a big part of the future <strong>for</strong> lotteries.Developing the Internet channel <strong>for</strong> traditional games, player loyalty/rewards programs, subscription services, and marketing communicationsis an important first step toward the eventual introduction of the digitalera of lotteries. The Group’s interactive management capability, deliveredthrough GTECH’s organization, is on the cutting edge and has launchedinteractive programs on behalf of major European, Canadian, andLatin American lottery customers. Our plan envisions the <strong>Illinois</strong> <strong>Lottery</strong>becoming a leader in the interactive space, beginning with the InternetPilot Program. Again, this ef<strong>for</strong>t will be supported by a multifaceted suiteof responsible gaming best practices and technology solutions.Market AnalysisWe firmly believe that the <strong>Illinois</strong> <strong>Lottery</strong>, operating under the innovativemodel being proposed as part of the <strong>Private</strong> <strong>Manager</strong> initiative, has thepotential to become one of the top per<strong>for</strong>ming lotteries in the United Statesin terms of sales and returns per capita.That claim begs the questions, “What can you deliver that you couldn'tdeliver as the incumbent providers to the <strong>Lottery</strong>? What's changed?” Thesimple answer is that everything has changed. Under the <strong>Private</strong> <strong>Manager</strong>model, we evolve from arms-length providers to fully integrated businesspartners with the flexibility, agility, market responsiveness, andaccountability to design and implement a growth program based on ourglobal experiences and insights.In our Business Plan, we compare the <strong>Illinois</strong> <strong>Lottery</strong>’s current per<strong>for</strong>manceto two benchmarks:1. Best Peer Lotteries: Lotteries in states that are similar to <strong>Illinois</strong> interms of socio-demographic characteristics, such as Pennsylvania,Michigan, and Ohio.2. Best Practice Lotteries: Lotteries in states with high sales per capita;these include Massachusetts, Georgia, New York, andNew Jersey.1 – 6 Executive Summary


When compared with industry-accepted benchmarks, it is clear that the<strong>Illinois</strong> <strong>Lottery</strong> has substantial room to grow. Examples of growthopportunities include:• 52 percent in terms of sales per capita when compared to the BestPeer benchmark.• 115 percent in terms of sales per capita when compared to the BestPractice lottery (Georgia).• 47 percent in terms of net income per capita when compared to theBest Peer benchmark.• 85 percent in terms of net income per capita when compared to theBest Practice lottery (New York).We have identified – through the application of strategic marketing analysis,in-depth consumer research, and segmentation tools – opportunities thatmake us highly confident in our projections. Specifically, there is significantpotential <strong>for</strong> 26 percent of the <strong>Illinois</strong> adult population, or 2.5 millionpeople, to become new <strong>Lottery</strong> customers or re-engage as <strong>Lottery</strong>customers. By adding Non-Players who have a positive view of the <strong>Lottery</strong>,we expand this potential customer group to 47 percent of the <strong>Illinois</strong> adultpopulation, or 4.5 million people. This group is, on average, younger thanthe general population of <strong>Illinois</strong>, and we have recommended severalstrategies that have proven successful in communicating with them.Executive Summary 1 – 7

3.1.2.1Potential <strong>for</strong> GrowthCurrently the eleventh-largest domestic lottery as measured by total sales,the <strong>Illinois</strong> <strong>Lottery</strong> is one of the most established lotteries in the U.S.Utilizing a balanced product mix, the <strong>Lottery</strong> sells its products through abroad retailer network with the highest density of self-service lotterydispensing machines in the country. In addition, demographics indicate that<strong>Illinois</strong> represents a favorable market <strong>for</strong> selling <strong>Illinois</strong> <strong>Lottery</strong> games.Among U.S. states, <strong>Illinois</strong> has:• The fifth-largest population (12.9 million people).• The third-largest city (Chicago, with a metro population of9.5 million people).• The fifth-largest Gross Domestic Product (GDP).• A statewide average annual household income of more than$56,000 to rank <strong>Illinois</strong> sixteenth.Moreover, the <strong>Lottery</strong> occupies a strong competitive position in the <strong>Illinois</strong>gaming market as <strong>Illinois</strong> consumer spending on lottery continues tooutpace spending at casinos and on other <strong>for</strong>ms of gaming entertainment.The <strong>Lottery</strong> also enjoys broad brand recognition across the state due to itsstrong commitment to integrity, transparency, and use of effectivemarketing programs.During Fiscal Year (FY) 2010, the <strong>Lottery</strong> generated approximately$2.2 billion in total sales and approximately $657 million in net transfersto the Common School Fund and capital projects. Product sales are splitbetween online games (46 percent) and instant games (54 percent). Witha 4.25 percent average sales growth rate between 2000 and 2009, the<strong>Lottery</strong> has realized relatively consistent growth in recent years as illustratedin the following figure.3.1.2 – 2 Situation Analysis and Market Assessment


Figure 3.1.2 – 1:Two significant observations are reflected in the numbers above:1. Instant games accounting <strong>for</strong> more than 88 percent of absolutegrowth between 2000 and 2009. (Instant product sales grew at anaverage rate of 8.21 percent while online sales grew at 0.94 percent.)2. Overall growth has moderated recently. Between 2005 and 2009,average instant ticket sales growth was 5.25 percent and online salesgrowth was 0.53 percent.In addition, in FY2010, all games except Lotto, Little Lotto, and MegaMillions generated higher sales than those of the previous year, thoughcombined sales of Mega Millions and Powerball were substantially higherthan Mega Millions alone in FY2009. Given the fact that instant tickets,which are characterized by higher payouts and thus typically generate lessprofit, drove most of the growth, the lottery profit trend has been less thanthe lottery sales trend, as shown in the following figure.Situation Analysis and Market Assessment 3.1.2 – 3


Figure 3.1.2 – 2:Moreover, between 2000 and 2009, net income, as a percent of sales, wasreduced from 35.7 percent to 30.6 percent. Consequently, between 2000and 2009, the <strong>Lottery</strong>’s average net income grew 2.0 percent annually, aslower growth rate than the 4.25 percent average sales growth <strong>for</strong> the sametime period. Furthermore, in 2009, the <strong>Lottery</strong>’s net profit was $12 millionless than in FY2008, although profits did rebound in FY2010.Several factors suggest that the <strong>Lottery</strong> has untapped growth potential andthat gross profit will improve dramatically under partnership with the<strong>Northstar</strong> <strong>Lottery</strong> Group. When benchmarking the <strong>Illinois</strong> <strong>Lottery</strong>’s percapita per<strong>for</strong>mance against peer and other best practice lotteries in theU.S., we identify a significant upside <strong>for</strong> the <strong>Illinois</strong> <strong>Lottery</strong>:• A 52 percent gap exists between the <strong>Illinois</strong> <strong>Lottery</strong> and itshighest-per<strong>for</strong>ming peer <strong>Lottery</strong> (the Pennsylvania <strong>Lottery</strong>) in termsof sales per capita. The gap between the net revenue of the twolotteries is 47 percent.• A 115 percent gap exists between the <strong>Illinois</strong> <strong>Lottery</strong> and thesecond-highest per<strong>for</strong>ming U.S. lottery (the Georgia <strong>Lottery</strong>) in termsof sales per capita. In terms of net income per capita, the gap versusthe New York <strong>Lottery</strong> is 85 percent.3.1.2 – 4 Situation Analysis and Market Assessment


Figure 3.1.2 – 3:By establishing the private manager contractual partnership framework,the State of <strong>Illinois</strong> has cleared the way <strong>for</strong> the <strong>Lottery</strong> to take full advantageof new growth opportunities. Implementing a full spectrum of providersand services enables the Group to provide the <strong>Lottery</strong> with considerablygreater flexibility and additional resources to optimize processes, products,and services.Situation Analysis and Market Assessment 3.1.2 – 5


3.1.2.2Market Research EvidenceConsumer insights are at the heart of every analysis to identify marketpotential and provide a solid foundation <strong>for</strong> business planning.

3.1.2.3Identifying Select Consumer SegmentsIn preparing the Business Plan, the <strong>Northstar</strong> <strong>Lottery</strong> Group conductedseveral market research studies and reviewed several customer definitionactivities prepared by Team Energy, including a study of the <strong>Lottery</strong>’scustomer segmentation analysis to identify prime prospect segments.

Retailer NetworkAnother constraint that prevented the <strong>Lottery</strong> from reaching its full salespotential is its retailer network penetration level:• The <strong>Illinois</strong> retailer network is 20 percent less penetrated comparedto the U.S. average. This disparity is even greater when compared tothe highest per<strong>for</strong>ming U.S. lotteries as shown in the following figure.Figure 3.1.2 – 10:Situation Analysis and Market Assessment 3.1.2 – 23


In addition, the trade style mix is not optimal in <strong>Illinois</strong>; many tradestyles with good sales potential are underrepresented as shown in thefollowing figure.Figure 3.1.2 – 11:Same-Store Per<strong>for</strong>manceA significant number of current retailers are not reaching potential becauseof insufficient in-store merchandising and difficulty with providing sales staffincentive programs. The Group has per<strong>for</strong>med detailed analyses <strong>for</strong> each<strong>Illinois</strong> <strong>Lottery</strong> retailer, comparing their sales potential to actualper<strong>for</strong>mance. Please refer to Section 3.1.7, <strong>Lottery</strong> Retailers, <strong>for</strong> additionalin<strong>for</strong>mation on same-store per<strong>for</strong>mance.3.1.2 – 24 Situation Analysis and Market Assessment


InternetTo address the perception of many <strong>Illinois</strong> citizens that the <strong>Lottery</strong> brandis old-fashioned, not cool, and “<strong>for</strong> my parents,” the Group will useconsumer insights discovered through research to guide a comprehensive,Internet-based <strong>Lottery</strong> development program.We plan to reverse the current perception by using interactivecommunications within the boundaries of the current Internet pilotprogram, including:• Adding Internet-specific features to the current jackpotgame portfolio.• Implementing a series of innovative digital marketing communicationpractices, such as player rewards and loyalty programs.Operating ProcessesWith a fully integrated sales, marketing, advertising, retail, operations, andtechnology offering, the <strong>Private</strong> <strong>Manager</strong> will have significantly moreflexibility to reengineer key processes which include those in the areas of:• Recruitment of new retailers.• Technology upgrade of Central Gaming System, communicationsnetwork, selling technology (e.g. terminals) and businessintelligence/reporting systems.• Sales network training and management.• In-store merchandising.• Instant ticket ordering, warehousing, and distribution.• Game launch coordination with marketing communications.The execution of such activities can lead to greater <strong>Lottery</strong> operatingefficiencies, both in terms of lower costs and greater implementation speed,and ultimately Net Income to the State.Situation Analysis and Market Assessment 3.1.2 – 25

Moreover, we can provide the following to the <strong>Illinois</strong> <strong>Lottery</strong>:• A proven strategy that brings the <strong>Lottery</strong> the least amount of risk byconverting major components (communications, terminals) well inadvance of Go Live.• Activity of Go Live day happens behind the scenes, in the datacenters, while selling and playing at the retailer sites continues.• Retailer-focused strategy precludes the need <strong>for</strong> non-sellingterminals to take up space on crowded counter tops.• Strategy combines with new technology to ensure that tickets fromall current games can be validated no matter the terminal or centralsystem from which they were purchased.• Know-how to convert large amounts of data related to the <strong>Illinois</strong><strong>Lottery</strong>'s billion-dollar, on-line system and active instant tickets.• Demonstrated and proven use of parallel processing after dataconversion to ensure 100 percent accuracy of data on the new system.The job of converting the <strong>Lottery</strong>’s gaming system, retailer terminals andperipherals, and communications network requires expert coordination andmanagement of logistics, developing and overseeing a project transitionplan with literally thousands of individual tasks, and assigning resourceswith the highest level of requisite skill needed to successfully complete theproject. The project will be completed with no disruption to the <strong>Lottery</strong>’sretailers or their ability to sell <strong>Lottery</strong> products.Description of Proposed Conversion MethodOur first step is to develop a new terminal application, that allows the newterminal to work with the existing central system. The new terminals andcommunications networks will be rolled out incrementally, swapping outthe old <strong>for</strong> the new, and only the central system will be left to be convertedon the Go Live day. While we convert the current retailers, the Group willbegin the implementation process of adding new retailers throughoutthe state.This strategy will significantly reduce risk at Go Live by installing andbringing major components, such as communications devices and retailerterminals, into production as soon as they are installed. We have used asimilar strategy successfully to convert the <strong>Illinois</strong> <strong>Lottery</strong> terminals andother jurisdictions that are <strong>Illinois</strong>-size and larger, i.e., New York, Cali<strong>for</strong>niaand Texas. The following figure depicts how the conversion of retailerequipment will work.3.1.3 – 4 Technology


Figure 3.1.3 – 1:With this strategy:• The <strong>Lottery</strong>’s terminals and the new communications network willbe rolled out to its retailers, gradually and in tandem, beginning inFebruary 2011.• New terminals will be installed and connected to your existing centralsystem and function immediately on the newly installedcommunications devices.• Retailer training schedules will be coordinated with the terminalinstallation schedules to ensure that retailers and clerks will betrained in the days and weeks – not months – in advance of theirterminal installation.• Most important, retailers will not be inconvenienced with multiple(non-selling) terminals on their counter tops.Our past experience in <strong>Illinois</strong> clearly shows we can provide this type ofconversion. It will bring significant benefits during the conversion period,most notably in terms of the minimized level of risk and the opportunity itbrings <strong>for</strong> continuous sales and revenue-generating activity.Our strategy also means that new retailers can be added, and changes ofownership can be handled, without delay and without any blackout days.Technology 3.1.3 – 5


Management Record of Successful ConversionsThe following figure provides a list of lotteries that have entrusted GTECH’sconversion experience since 2001, a successful strategy similar to what isproposed <strong>for</strong> <strong>Illinois</strong>.Figure 3.1.3 – 2:U.S. Lotteries Converted by GTECH Using the Proposed StrategyCustomer Retailers Conversion DateNew York 16,600 2010New Jersey* 6,000 2010Michigan 10,500 2009Oregon 3,100 2008Kansas 1,800 2008Arizona 2,600 2006Washington 3,800 2006Missouri 4,300 2005Wisconsin 3,200 2004Cali<strong>for</strong>nia 19,700 2004Minnesota 3,300 2003Georgia 7,800 2003Louisiana 2,804 2002New York 15,000 2002Texas 16,250 2002<strong>Illinois</strong> 7,397 2001Ohio 7,233 2001* Terminal and Network conversion complete.

Figure 3.1.3 – 3:Benefits of Proposed StrategyProposed Conversion StrategyDescription • Current terminals are removed from retail locations and replaced withnew terminals, which communicate with the existing central systemimmediately upon installation and well in advance of the Go Live date.Only the central system is replaced on the Go Live dateRisk Reduction • Virtually eliminates the risk of disruption to daily sales, inconvenienceto retailers, and loss of retailer and player loyalty• Reduces risk because retailers begin selling with new, easy-to-usetechnology upon installation and be<strong>for</strong>e central system cutover• Lowers risk due to the gradual changing of major gaming systemcomponents without interrupting sales, playing opportunities,or revenues• Prevents a rushed terminal installation that ends right at the timeof conversion• Prevents separate installation and testing cycles <strong>for</strong> communicationsdevices and terminals• Prevents there being a new terminal that cannot “go live” andthere<strong>for</strong>e cannot sell tickets upon installation because it is built tocommunicate only with the new central systems• Prevents a conversion schedule that requires dark hours (or days!) toachieve conversion of all major componentsMajor Benefits • Terminal installation and training are coordinated and convenient<strong>for</strong> retailers• A “ramped-up” conversion enables immediate live testing of terminalsand communications equipment, with immediate identification andproblem resolution. There’s no need to search the whole network <strong>for</strong> aproblem source on conversion day• Converted data is completely accurate through parallel processingprior to conversion• Retailers have experience using the new terminals beginning morethan six months in advance of the conversion date• The conversion to the new central system is a non-event – it’s invisibleto retailers and players• All winning tickets, whether sold from the old or the new terminal, canbe validated on either terminalRetailer • No retailer counter clutter or disruption because there is no need <strong>for</strong> asecond, non-selling terminal at retail locations <strong>for</strong> months and no retailerintervention required to “swap” the terminals on the Go Live day• Convenient and effective training and improved retailer satisfactionbased on hands-on learning, ensuring each retailer masters thenew device• Retailers immediately begin using new terminals following installation,which is coordinated to occur shortly after their training, putting newskills into immediate actionTechnology 3.1.3 – 7


Proposed Conversion StrategyCentral System • Conversion of millions of transactions and billions of dollars worthof instant tickets is done over several weeks leading up to theGo Live date• Conversion to the new central system is transparent to retailers andplayers with no system downtime• Parallel processing allows <strong>for</strong> the new software and converted data tobe “exercised” daily alongside the old, through multiple invoiceperiods, to ensure qualityNetwork • New terminals operate on the new network, which will have beeninstalled at retailer locations in tandem with terminal installations.Functionality of both is verified through transactional activity be<strong>for</strong>ethe installer leaves the retailer locationStrategy that Brings Benefits to All: The proposed strategy provides benefits inevery area of the conversion project. Best of all, there is no need toinconvenience retailers or interrupt play.Proposed Strategy vs. Big BangThe following figure provides a snapshot of the two conversion strategies– the one proposed by us and the Big Bang-type strategy that will likely beproposed by other vendors.Figure 3.1.3 – 4:Snapshot of Conversion StrategiesStrategyOur StrategyBig BangDescriptionOur proposed conversion strategy is an implementation model in whichour first develops a new terminal application to work with the existingcentral system. The new terminals and communications networks arerolled out incrementally, swapping out the old <strong>for</strong> the new, and thenconverting the central system later during the deliveryAn alternate conversion strategy is an implementation model in whichnew terminals are installed in an offline (non-selling) mode in retaillocations. The new terminals, communications network, and centralsystem are converted all at once, overnight, on the scheduled Go Livedate, after which the old terminals are removed from the retailer sites.Operation of the existing system continues as communicationsequipment and terminal installations are per<strong>for</strong>medClear Distinction between Strategies: When compared side by side, theconversion strategy proposed by GTECH, which has been used successfully in<strong>Illinois</strong> in past conversions, is the one best suited to the needs of the <strong>Lottery</strong>, itsretailers, and players.3.1.3 – 8 Technology


From our years in <strong>Illinois</strong>, we know that convenience <strong>for</strong> the <strong>Lottery</strong>’sretailers is key. The strategy we have proposed <strong>for</strong> your conversion isoptimally convenient <strong>for</strong> your retailers because it doesn't require them tofind room on their crowded counter tops or elsewhere in their stores <strong>for</strong> anidle, non-selling terminal.Expecting <strong>Illinois</strong> retailers to have one (or more in many cases) terminal(s)inactive on their counter tops is not at all realistic and certainly notdesired by the <strong>Lottery</strong>. Where would the retailers pictured here placethe extra terminals?Figure 3.1.3 – 5:Where Will the Second Terminal Go?No Room on the Retailer’s Counter Tops: As evidenced by these photographsof major <strong>Illinois</strong> <strong>Lottery</strong> retailers (l-r Meijer, QuiknEZ, Shell), there is no roomto either sit or perhaps even to store an extra non-selling terminal <strong>for</strong> weeks ormonths until Go Live.There are thousands of retailers just like these throughout <strong>Illinois</strong> andthe impact to these small businesses and the <strong>Lottery</strong>’s revenues wouldbe substantial. Many of the <strong>Lottery</strong>’s retailers sell an average of $20,000weekly. The only result of the existence of the second terminals would besome <strong>for</strong>m of disruption to the retailer's environment and thus to his or herability to maximize <strong>Illinois</strong> <strong>Lottery</strong> sales.Technology 3.1.3 – 9


Reduced RiskThe following figure compares the risk associated with our proposedstrategy versus other vendors’ strategies, specifically in relation to the timeframe in which major components of the new system will be installed andin production.Figure 3.1.3 – 6:Live vs. Offline: Our retailer sales terminals will go live upon installation. Withother proposers, the new terminals will sit idle (taking up counter space orstorage space) and won’t generate sales until the entire system goes livemonths later.3.1.3 – 10 Technology


Seamless Installations Featuring Convenience andContinuous SalesBetween September 1, 2009 and February, 28, 2010, GTECH seamlesslyimplemented a new communications network, new retailer sales terminals,and peripherals, in 16,600 New York <strong>Lottery</strong> retail locations. All of theequipment went live in production as soon as it was installed. The newsystem went live on August 1, 2010. There were no disruptions to sales inNew York as the new equipment was deployed. In fact, sales were ableto increase as the installation period overlapped with the period in whichGTECH successfully implemented Powerball in New York.With this implementation and migration plan <strong>for</strong> the system and its components,the <strong>Lottery</strong> can be assured they will have the following benefits:• The ability to enable the <strong>Lottery</strong> to test its business processes,business rules, and converted data on an actual ES test system shortlyafter contract award.• The assurance that tickets from all current games can be validated,no matter which terminal or system they were purchased from, bothduring and after conversion.• A Go Live day that is essentially free of risk; the start-up of the newsystem happens behind the scenes in the data centers as selling andplaying at the retailer sites continues.Organizing, Planning and Monitoring the ConversionPlanning and tracking a large conversion is not a job <strong>for</strong> just a couple ofpeople. It is a best practice to provide both a team and a set of processesthat will effectively track our equipment implementation and migration andmake it easy <strong>for</strong> you to track progress as well.For that purpose, we rely on GTECH’s Program Management Office (PMO)and Network Roll-Out Organization (NRO).PMO Benefits and ResponsibilitiesThe PMO is responsible <strong>for</strong> the following:• Defining, planning, and controlling GTECH project managementstandards and best practices to ensure compliance with CapabilityMaturity Model Integration (CMMI) software and ProjectManagement Institute (PMI) standards.• Working with core project teams in a mentoring and consultingcapacity to guide project delivery teams in achievingproject objectives.• Monitoring all active project teams and facilitating executive statusreporting <strong>for</strong> all projects.• Ensuring quality in terms of deliveries executed on time, on budget,and with high customer satisfaction.• Maintaining a repository of project-related in<strong>for</strong>mation <strong>for</strong> reference.• Training, mandating Project Management Professional (PMP)certification, new Project <strong>Manager</strong> (PM) on-boarding, and conductingmonthly Lunch & Learn sessions <strong>for</strong> professional development.Technology 3.1.3 – 11


The PMO provides the following benefits:• Project Support: Provides project management guidance to projectmanagers in business units.• Project Management Process/Methodology: Develops andimplements a consistent and standardized process.• Training: Conducts training and certification programs.• Internal Consulting and Mentoring: Advises employees aboutbest practices.• Project Management Software Tools: Selects and maintains projectmanagement tools <strong>for</strong> use by employees.• Portfolio Management: Organizes a series of projects into a singleportfolio to review project objectives, costs, schedules, resources,and risks.“The <strong>Lottery</strong> and GTECH delivery teams worked ina partnership to deliver the product we expected.While it was a challenging project, it was handledprofessionally and was quite successful.”– Anita Wooten, Deputy Commissioner ofAdministration, Michigan <strong>Lottery</strong>The Network Rollout Organization (NRO)The NRO is responsible <strong>for</strong> all phases of the retailer network and terminaldelivery. Working closely with our technology organization, the NRO provides:• Delivery costing based on network design and contractualdelivery dates.• Project planning.• Logistics planning.• Contractor qualification.• Contractor management.• NRO Operations Center (OPCEN).• OPCEN Standard Operating Procedure Documentation.• Daily reporting.• Invoice auditing.• Budget management.• Warehouse management.• Network mapping.• Quality assurance.• Insurance requirements.• Problem resolution.• Jurisdiction-specific retailer in<strong>for</strong>mational packets.We manage each project using standard NRO processes, procedures andtools, to maintain uni<strong>for</strong>mity. Most recently, we had 22 operators workingon New York and New Jersey installations, with the New York installationour first ever <strong>for</strong> cellular communications installation.3.1.3 – 12 Technology


Figure 3.1.3 – 7:War Room Set-UpSeeing What the Installers are Seeing: The War Room operators have a tableset with one of each piece of retailer equipment being installed in a particularjurisdiction. They can also see photos of showing multiple examples ofcommunications installations. Ready access to the equipment and photos helpsthem to better answer installers’ questions from the field.The War RoomThe NRO offers operational and War Room management through theRI-based NRO OPCEN located in our West Greenwich, Rhode Island facility.The OPCEN provides contractors, core teams and clients one central office<strong>for</strong> escalation and problem resolution. It is accessible through dedicated800-number lines and is staffed during operations hours specific to thatjurisdiction. Because the OPCEN is multi-jurisdictional, the cost <strong>for</strong> staffing isfractionalized across the programs under management <strong>for</strong> the period invoiced.The RI OPCEN currently has seating capacity to accommodate eightoperators per shift. NRO operators are experienced at handling the dutiesof a War Room. They track contractors, installations, and the serial numbersof installed equipment, and they support the contractors in the field. Theverification by a War Room operator is important, because the contractoris not allowed to leave the retail location until the War Room gives the okay.When temporary staff is needed to supplement the NRO operations staff,we make every ef<strong>for</strong>t to recruit people who have GTECH NRO experience.They have the product and process knowledge and, in some cases,established relationships with the contractors.Given the above considerations, OPCEN coverage will be determined uponjoint agreement by the NRO and project management teams to ensureadequate and complete coverage. This coverage can be adjusted in orderto address any peak hours – <strong>for</strong> instance, mornings, when on- site calls aremore frequent; midday, when issues are typically called in from the field;and mid- to late-day completion calls. It is anticipated that a typical wirelesscommunications deployment would manage an average of 300 calls perday, assuming there are multiple deployments.Technology 3.1.3 – 13


The success of the ef<strong>for</strong>t to implement and transition your large retailernetwork will require interdependencies between the NRO; the War Room;GTECH’s National Response Centers (NRCs) in Austin, Texas, andProvidence, Rhode Island; its Technology Training group; its salesorganization; site services; field service operations; and the <strong>Lottery</strong>.At the close of a deployment program, the NRO finalizes outstandinginvoices, per<strong>for</strong>ms asset inventory and operational handover to theservices team, and makes the management database available to the site.In<strong>for</strong>mation collected during the deployment will be uploaded into thepermanent services application or tool as required.Website ToolIn order to ensure transparency into the major aspects of the ConversionPlan, the Group will provide the <strong>Lottery</strong> direct access into the GTECH NRO’sWebsite tool.The NRO maintains a Website tool that enables comprehensive oversightand management of the rollout. The NRO database (DB) can be tiedinto this Website by the DB administrator, and can be used <strong>for</strong> real-timeverification of current installation metrics. This Website can be accessed byour NRO Project <strong>Manager</strong>s, <strong>Lottery</strong> staff, and any authorized contractorswho are participating in the installations. This site can be reached from aPC or from a mobile device, such as a cell phone. This real-time visibilityinto the database lessens the number of requests from contractors andProject <strong>Manager</strong>s <strong>for</strong> daily updates and installation reconciliation.Conversion/Data MigrationGTECH will convert the data from the <strong>Lottery</strong>’s current online system andtransfer it to the new system so the historical data, and all live data, willstill be available.The data migration process will consist of the following steps:1. Initial configuration.2. Historical static data conversion.3. Parallel transactional processing – to ensure that the new systemstarts up with accurate historical and actual transactional data.Data initialization is the first part of the data migration. It consists of settingup the initial configurations. The project team will define the online gameparameters, retailer privileges, and other system-level settings. The newsystem will start up “out of the box” with this base configuration be<strong>for</strong>ethe data migration process begins. This facilitates agile testing because itestablishes a roll-back point that allows restarts, as desired, to optimizetest scenarios and increase resource efficiency. GTECH can roll back to thisstarting point on demand, as warranted. This approach guarantees areliable, predefined starting point every time.3.1.3 – 14 Technology


We can convert whatever amount or type of data the <strong>Lottery</strong> requires.GTECH achieved a successful conversion in Florida, including converting15 years of historical data – all the way back to the Florida <strong>Lottery</strong>’s firstday of operation – at the <strong>Lottery</strong>’s request. Most recently, in New York, weconverted more than $17.5 billion in instant ticket inventory in addition tothe large amount of online data.Static data migration involves all data within a predetermined time frame.GTECH calls it static data because the data is not changing like it is duringthe parallel processing phase that comes later. We look <strong>for</strong>ward to yourfull involvement in these tasks, and in your validation of all the data andprinted reports.The static conversion involves the following five phases:1. Data identification: Identify appropriate data elements to includein the migration. This scope phase is used to quantify the ef<strong>for</strong>tand objectives.2. Data extraction: Create a custom suite of extraction tools to readall types of legacy system files and write the data out as easily-read,fixed-record-length ASCII files. Some legacy files are simple enoughthat they won’t need preprocessing. Those files will be imported intothe ES system directly, which will help simplify the process.3. Data transfer: Transfer the data from the legacy system to the ESsystem, either by electronic transfer or by removable media (e.g.compact disk, DVD) that can be written on the legacy system andread on the ES system.4. Data load: Load data into the ES system files and databases set upduring data initialization.5. Balancing: Create a custom set of balancing tools to compare thedata on the ES system to the data on the legacy systems. Applicableproduction reports will be used to verify data integrity. GTECH willalso provide custom reports and ad hoc queries to supplement andenhance the thoroughness and accuracy of the balancing process.Balancing will provide the same high level of financial reporting(invoices, transactions, etc.) that the <strong>Lottery</strong> has now.We will retrieve data from the <strong>Lottery</strong>’s existing system and convert itinto a <strong>for</strong>mat that is compatible with Enterprise Series. This task involvesdevelopment of a set of custom-written programs, which convert each fieldof the existing files into a <strong>for</strong>mat compatible with the proposed ES system.The program filters the old data, assigning a new <strong>for</strong>mat and location inthe new system files. Our data transfer includes all critical files includinggame and play data, such as wager, draw, and outstanding winner filein<strong>for</strong>mation. As a result, winning tickets purchased on the old system canbe validated on the new system using transferred gaming data.Technology 3.1.3 – 15


Using our proven conversion methods, key accounting data also willbe transferred to an ES-compatible <strong>for</strong>mat. Such data will permit thegeneration of retailer and other management reports using historical aswell as current data following the start-up of the new gaming system.Back office data, including data warehouses, will also be converted in thistime frame. The <strong>Lottery</strong>’s gaming and in<strong>for</strong>mational Websites will also bemigrated and ready <strong>for</strong> access on the day after the conversion.Converted data will then be loaded onto the new central system. Afterconverting the data, GTECH will per<strong>for</strong>m parallel processing. This processis crucial to ensuring that the converted data is synchronized between theold and new systems prior to the start-up.Detailed Transition PlanA detailed Transition Plan will be the tool that helps us compile, manage,and track each of the individual project tasks and their respective timeframes. A well-developed plan is essential to understanding the size andscope of the conversion.• It involves conversion of terminals and peripheral equipment to morethan 7,500 retailers.• The project will require an experienced, senior-level project managerand team with the requisite skills to manage a project of this size.• The development of the Transition Plan must take into considerationthe geography, diversity, demographics, retailer types, and othercharacteristics that are distinct to <strong>Illinois</strong>.• The interrelationship of tasks (e.g., scheduling of communicationsand retailer terminal installations and retailer training) must becarefully coordinated and the risks identified, with mitigation plansin place to prevent impact to the schedule.• The plan must provide <strong>for</strong> a smooth transition to the new system andcomponents without any inconvenience to retailers or disruption totheir businesses or <strong>Lottery</strong> sales.• The project must be completed on time and with no interruption tothe billions of transactions and billions of dollars in sales that aregenerated by the <strong>Illinois</strong> <strong>Lottery</strong> annually.The Transition Plan will then act as the main scheduling and tracking tool<strong>for</strong> the entire project. Then, a team of certified business analysts will studythe software requirements to make sure each one is properly captured,understood, and documented. Completion of the requirements task willserve as the kick-off of the Transition Plan.To help us achieve your goals <strong>for</strong> the implementation, GTECH will use thelatest in process-management and resourcing tools, such as Clarity, andrequirements-management tools, such as Telelogic’s DOORS. These andother tools, combined with the Transition Plan, schedule, and regularmanagement reviews of the project status, will ensure the precision withwhich the process will be run and your goals achieved.3.1.3 – 16 Technology


With this proposal GTECH has provided the <strong>Lottery</strong> with a detailedTransition Plan and time chart in the <strong>for</strong>m of a Gantt chart. This is a commontechnique <strong>for</strong> representing the phases and activities of a project WorkBreakdown Structure (WBS) in an easy-to-understand <strong>for</strong>mat. The GanttChart is presented in the Transition Plan, which is located behind Section3.1.16, Transition Plan. A figure depicting the menu bar atop the TransitionPlan is presented here. In addition, the Gantt Chart includes the transitionperiod and the ramp up period.Figure 3.1.3 – 8:Transition Plan Menu BarAll the In<strong>for</strong>mation Needed to Plan and Track the Project: The Transition Planand Time Chart (Gantt Chart) will provide all the in<strong>for</strong>mation needed to planand track the project, including WBS element, task/sub-task name, duration,start and finish dates, preceding tasks, and responsible resource.The Transition Plan will be unique to <strong>Illinois</strong>. In developing the plan thataccompanies this proposal, we have first considered:• The firsthand understanding of your operational environment andyour needs.• An understanding of the business, operation, and conversion risksand having proven, experience-tested mitigation plans in place.• Our qualifications to do the job, including our working knowledgeof the <strong>Illinois</strong> <strong>Lottery</strong>, its systems, retailers, and players from nearly20 years of service.• The lessons learned from on-the-ground experience in <strong>Illinois</strong>,three previous conversions in <strong>Illinois</strong>, and the progressive projectmanagement improvement that comes from our implementationexperience around the world.Detailed Transition Plan and Time ChartAs we develop our conversion plan, we will employ professional projectmanagement techniques that have proven successful in prior conversions,in <strong>Illinois</strong> and elsewhere, and that have been refined during post-projectAfter Action Reviews (AARs). The first step will be to create an TransitionPlan and time chart that includes:• All implementation tasks and milestones.• Task start dates and/or deadlines.• Staffing and resources <strong>for</strong> each task.• Duration of each task.Technology 3.1.3 – 17


The Gantt chart identifies the major milestones to be accomplished <strong>for</strong> thebusiness requirements. These include:• Installation and testing of the communications network.• Installation and testing of retailer devices, including peripherals.• Acquisition and readying of facilities.• Hardware deployment.• Requirements definition, including drafting, documenting, review,and approval.• Software developing process, including design, implementation,testing, problem tracking and resolution, change controlmanagement, release management, installation, andconfiguration management.• Acceptance testing, including test process, plan development, anddocumentation of results.• Converting and testing existing data.• Training and supporting retailers.• Training and supporting <strong>Lottery</strong> staff.Additionally, the Gantt chart identifies the duration of each task andsub-task, including major milestones on the critical path. All critical pathitems are delineated by red bars on the Gantt chart. The Transition Planwill also list the party or parties responsible <strong>for</strong> each task. Later in thissection we provide details about those roles and responsibilities, based onyour requirements and our experience in previous conversions in <strong>Illinois</strong>.Chronology of a ConversionThe following pages will guide you through the process of a full gamingsystem conversion, including the critical-path milestone tasks. Thedescriptions below provide additional details about the tasks involved.Project Management ActivityWhile much pre-project planning has already taken place, the awarding ofthe contract will set our project management team full speed ahead on thefollowing tasks:• Finalize the Transition Plan.• Schedule and orchestrate the project kick-off meeting <strong>for</strong>project team members, including explanation of roles, creationof starting assignments, and creation of the regular schedule ofweekly project meetings.• Identify reporting needs, including type of reports (status, progress,<strong>for</strong>ecast, etc.) and expected schedules.• Finalize the <strong>for</strong>ecasting and assignment of resources <strong>for</strong> the project.• Begin a series of regular project management meetings with themanagers of the various disciplines (infrastructure, software, training,etc.) who are involved in the project. This task also includes thepreparation of materials <strong>for</strong> the kick-off meeting.• Set up a Network Rollout Organization (NRO) War Room in ourGTECH facility in West Greenwich, Rhode Island, to begin planning<strong>Illinois</strong>’ statewide retailer installations.3.1.3 – 18 Technology


Telecommunications Network ActivitiesWe will upgrade your widespread, complex network to a combinationof Very Small Aperture Terminal (VSAT), 3G Fixed Wireless and Frametechnologies. Our end-to-end internet protocol (IP) network will allow <strong>for</strong>sales growth today, as well as growth into new retail environments andadditional sales channels in the future:• We will order the equipment and stage it when it is delivered to our site.• GTECH’s NRO will create a schedule <strong>for</strong> installation of thetelecommunications equipment that will be coordinated withinstallation of the retailer terminals to minimize any disruptions orinconvenience to your retailers by per<strong>for</strong>ming all installations in one visit.• The retailer training schedule will be designed to ensure that trainingoccurs just be<strong>for</strong>e installation.• Reliable, third-party field technicians will install the telecommunicationsequipment, along with the new terminals, in the retailer locations.• The VSAT communications installations will include a non-penetratingroof mount with a dish and Outdoor Unit (ODU) consisting of a receiver,transmitter, and two coaxial cables that run from the ODU to theHughesNet Indoor Unit (IDU) inside the store. The IDU, which looks likea modem, has two coaxial connectors and an Ethernet port to connectto the new retailer terminal.GTECH will develop and build the <strong>Lottery</strong>’s new network of touch screen retailerterminals and provide an array of peripheral devices. Installation of the terminalswill coincide with installation of the new communications infrastructure to enableon-site testing of both new technologies with little or no interruption to theretailer. Through emulation, the new terminals will be operational on the livelegacy system and via the new communications network upon installation.Retailers will be able to continue selling and validating <strong>Illinois</strong> <strong>Lottery</strong> ticketson the new terminals and network right away.Tasks associated with the terminal plat<strong>for</strong>m include:• Develop specifications <strong>for</strong> the terminal based on yourterminal requirements.• Place the order <strong>for</strong> new terminals.• Ship the terminals to <strong>Illinois</strong>, where they will be staged be<strong>for</strong>edistribution <strong>for</strong> installation.• The NRO will create a schedule <strong>for</strong> the installation of thetelecommunications and retailer equipment that will be done inparallel to minimize any disruptions or inconvenience to your retailers.• As the telecommunications equipment is being installed, we will installthe retailer terminals and peripherals in more than 7,500 retailer sites.Technology 3.1.3 – 19


For the conversion in 1989, we found a way to buildall the terminals in state. We set up an assembly linethat engaged the field service technicians and salesrepresentatives as assemblers. By the time we weredone, they knew the terminal inside and out. And byhiring minority and underprivileged people to work onthe terminal build, we helped out the community too.– GTECH hardware project manager,1989 <strong>Illinois</strong> <strong>Lottery</strong> conversion.Installations will be based on a well-planned, expertly tracked processdeveloped by our NRO, which will be proactive in creating a schedule <strong>for</strong>installations that takes the <strong>Lottery</strong> retailers' businesses and busy schedulesinto priority consideration.Our Transition Plan includes data center setups, including the Primary DataCenter in Springfield and utilizing GTECH's Data Center of the Americas(DCA) in Austin, Texas, as the <strong>Lottery</strong>’s new Backup Data Center (BDC).Facilities tasks include:• Site selection and execution of a purchase/lease agreement <strong>for</strong> thePDC. Our Real Estate team will work with real estate brokers.• The design engineering task, which involves designing any updatesto the space that has been designated <strong>for</strong> both the PDC and BDC.• Construction tasks, which begin with seeking and obtaining theproper permits (e.g., from the state, the fire marshal, etc.) and thenbuilding out the respective spaces according to the agreedrequirements and specifications.Computer Hardware and Software Installation(Infrastructure Plat<strong>for</strong>m)GTECH will finalize the specifications <strong>for</strong> the computer hardware andsoftware that will comprise the new central systems, <strong>for</strong> duplex redundancyin the PDC and duplex redundancy in the BDC, via the following tasks:• A design review will take place, followed by the preparation andreview of proposed infrastructure systems diagrams.• GTECH will order the equipment, stage the equipment when it isreceived from the manufacturers, and then ship it to the respectivedata centers.• Installation and testing of the infrastructure equipment will bescheduled at all sites and will be per<strong>for</strong>med by GTECH’s experiencedinstallation technicians.3.1.3 – 20 Technology


RequirementsWith input from GTECH’s project manager and the project managers ofeach discipline involved, the Business Analysts (BAs) assigned to theconversion will gather and document all software requirements, relative totheir respective roles in the conversion process.

Project <strong>Manager</strong> QualityAll of our project managers are required to achieve PMP certification fromthe Project Management Institute (PMI). PMI is the internationally recognizedorganization that governs standard principles and procedures <strong>for</strong> projectmanagers worldwide. The PMP certification is the project managementprofession’s most globally recognized and respected certification. The highnumber of PMP-certified professionals at GTECH demonstrates the value itplaces on project management experience, education, and continual qualityimprovement. We invest in our project managers annually to completeadvanced project management certification courses (e.g., risk management,problem resolution, organizational finance, etc.).The high number of PMP-certified professionals atGTECH demonstrates the value it places on projectmanagement experience, education, and continualquality improvement.The benefit of a PMP-certified project manager is an individual whounderstands that managing a project requires more than just schedulemanagement. It also encompasses quality and risk management. We liketo point to risk management as a value to the <strong>Lottery</strong>. Our expertise inestablishing contingencies and mitigation strategies means that risks areless likely to impact your conversion process.3.1.3.3Proven TechnologyCentral Gaming System OverviewThe Group views the full upgrade to a state-of-the-art central system,communications network and full suite of in-store selling and merchandisingsolutions as an immediate and strategic opportunity <strong>for</strong> the <strong>Illinois</strong> <strong>Lottery</strong>.We appreciate that since 2006-2007 this has been an objective <strong>for</strong>well-documented reasons. Un<strong>for</strong>tunately, it has taken until now (2010-2011)to become a reality. Add to this the opportunity to launch the pioneeringInternet Pilot program, and the Technology Plan, the capabilities andexecution by the successful manager both a venue and Net Income leveras well as a business initiative to measure in terms of risk factors.There<strong>for</strong>e, the Group is proud to offer through our technology partner,GTECH, GTECH’s Enterprise Series gaming system. The Enterprise Series(ES) system includes a modular architecture that supports multiple saleschannels <strong>for</strong> the current lottery games and additional sales channels <strong>for</strong>new gaming opportunities. ES does more than keep pace with industryrequirements; it offers pathways to access new ideas and achieve successbeyond traditional lottery technology and networks. ES makes the <strong>Lottery</strong>ready <strong>for</strong> tomorrow.Technology 3.1.3 – 31


The Enterprise Series (ES) central system solution includes the followingfeatures and capabilities:• Fast Processing: The ES system runs on an IBM x series plat<strong>for</strong>m thatprovides fast processing and the capability to expand as the <strong>Illinois</strong> <strong>Lottery</strong>continues to grow.• High Reliability: The ES system (running in nearly 50 lottery jurisdictions,including several high volume jurisdictions, such as New York, New Jersey,Michigan and Texas) is configured to provide a highly reliable, redundantquadplex system with no single point of failure.• The Latest Equipment: The latest version or model equipment availableat the time of system conversion will be installed and upgrades will beapplied as deemed necessary throughout the term of the contract.Equipment will be International Organization <strong>for</strong> Standardization (ISO)certified and Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) compliant.• Many Software Choices: With more applications than any competitor,ES provides a large array of features and functions that will be used <strong>for</strong>operating and managing the <strong>Illinois</strong> <strong>Lottery</strong> <strong>for</strong> the entire contract term• Communications Routing: Our communications routing configurationprovides on-demand and automatic redirecting of the system’s terminalcommunication between the PDC in Springfield and your BDC in Austin.• System Monitoring: Our tools ensure the highest levels of systemper<strong>for</strong>mance and integrity, meeting all security and technology operatingstandards. And provides the tools <strong>for</strong> <strong>Lottery</strong> oversight and monitoring.• Reporting Flexibility: Through an intuitive, Web-based interface, ourES Business Intelligence (ESBI) Suite offers enhanced reporting flexibility<strong>for</strong> facilitating data-driven decision making. From retailer to <strong>Lottery</strong>levels, ESBI users can easily analyze data and generate reports on anas-needed basis.• Encryption Standards: Our Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) meetsthe highest level of data integrity, ensuring that your data iscommunicated securely throughout your operations.The ES solution is a cutting-edge system <strong>for</strong> managing both the technologyand the business of a lottery enterprise over the long term. The solution isa “quadplex” system configuration, comprised of four central systems,which we call Enterprise Series Engines (ES Transaction Engines or ESTEs).The system resides on IBM x3850 series servers that run Linux and JavaEnterprise Edition (JEE) in an open-architecture structure. Our ES solutioncombines mission-critical components from world-class vendors such asIBM, Cisco, Dell, and others to ensure the reliability and integrity of thelottery operation. Here are the major system components. (Note that“Two Physically Separate Systems” are being provided per the <strong>Lottery</strong>’sOperating Standards.)• IBM X3850 X5 Servers.• Two Servers Located at Primary Data Center (PDC) in Springfield, IL.• Two Servers at the Backup Data Center (BDC) in Austin, TX.• Two Servers Provided <strong>for</strong> Testing Purposes.• Additional Central System Hardware at each location to support theInternet initiative.3.1.3 – 32 Technology


Figure 3.1.3 – 14:Full, Secure Redundancy: ES will write all transactions eight times across four systems.Flexibility of the SystemThe ES solution is designed with maximum flexibility and the ability tolink to various types of third-party devices, such as the back offices ofretail chains and state run systems. ES has the ability to treat back officetransactions the same as transactions from a traditional lottery terminal andcan also handle Internet and mobile sales transactions.The flexibility and security of this system’s configuration provides acritical adaptability that will help grow and evolve the gaming environmentover the course of the contract. ES is an evolutionary development ingaming technology. It can easily grow with the Group’s marketing plan andassociated strategies. Our modern N-tier architecture allows new productsand technologies to be easily integrated in the redundant configurationsolution, so data or revenue is never lost. We employ best practices ofhigh-per<strong>for</strong>mance transaction-processing environments to supportexpansion of the gaming operations, allowing sales to grow exponentially.Technology 3.1.3 – 33


State-of-the-Art Robustness, Integrity and AvailabilityOperating HoursEnterprise Series (ES) will process all gaming transaction functions, sales,validations, instant tickets, and report generation <strong>for</strong> 23 ½ hours per day.The Group will provide the following hours of operation:• Gaming Hours: 05:30am – 05:00am, Sunday through Saturday.• As identified in the Operating Standards, we recognize the PrimeHours of 06:00-23:00 and Non-Prime Hours of 05:00-06:00 and23:00-02:00. There<strong>for</strong>e we have chosen the 30 minute periodbetween 05:00am and 05:30am as our “maintenance window”wherein terminal input will be disabled.ES ApplicationsThe Enterprise Series solution is comprised of several software applicationsthat provide the most robust set of features in the <strong>Lottery</strong> industry today:ES Transaction Engine (ESTE)The ES Transaction Engine (ESTE) was developed to be the industrystandard <strong>for</strong> integrating secure lottery networks with open applications andInternet Protocol (IP)-based Web technologies to create breakthrough salesand business-management possibilities <strong>for</strong> lotteries. Simply stated, ESprovides lotteries with the means to transition their businesses into moremodern enterprises. The flexible, scalable, available, and powerful ESTE isthe heart of the Enterprise Series solution.ES Retailer Services (ESRS)This application was designed to provide automated management of everyaspect of a retailer’s life cycle from initial contact and licensing to day today business and accounting and account reconciliation and closure. Allpersonnel, whether it is the <strong>Lottery</strong>, <strong>Northstar</strong> <strong>Lottery</strong> Group Management,or the GTECH Call Center will benefit from a comprehensive retailer historyscreen which will help in assisting retailers to identify concerns that mayhinder sales and provide <strong>for</strong> customer relations management.ES Player Services (ESPS)This player-focused set of services includes several modules including aClaims and Payment (ES CAP) application, subscription application, playercard, and more. Through the Claims & Payment application, the <strong>Lottery</strong>and the Group will be able to manage player prizes, accommodate debtsetoffs and generate checks.3.1.3 – 34 Technology


ES Business intelligence Suite (ESBI)The ESBI is a dynamic reporting solution included in the Enterprise Seriessuite of applications that provides the data and reports necessary to allowthe State to carry out its obligations, including but not limited to <strong>Lottery</strong>Retailer settlements and adjustments. This solution is described in moredetail later in this proposal section under the heading “Reporting.”ES Connect (ESC)ES Connect® (ESC) is a highly secure, high-volume, open standards networkinterface that connects the transaction processing engine to a multitude ofsales channels, expanding your opportunity <strong>for</strong> revenue growth. ES Connectwill be configured to support in excess of 30,000 Retailers on day one ofthe contract and can easily be expanded without hardware modifications.ES MultiMedia (ESMM)ES MultiMedia (ESMM) is a content and technology solution that allowsIP-enabled networks to manage, distribute, and display MultiMediacontent (games, advertising, and messages) through a single point of saledevice. Messages typically communicated through posters, table toppersand cardboard displays can now reach <strong>Lottery</strong> players through moderndigital signage.While many retail locations are still depending on the standard POSsignage, stores that have traded in their static, one-dimensional signs<strong>for</strong> high-tech, attractive, digital displays are experiencing increased brandawareness, timely and accurate delivery of messages and a reduction inthe cost <strong>for</strong> traditional, in-store print advertising.Hardware and Software (PDC and BDC) <strong>for</strong>Transaction ProcessingThe two production ESTEs (primary and secondary) at the PDC are identicalin capacity and architecture; they will function as redundant systems. Allgames, databases, and games administration functions <strong>for</strong> mission-criticalgaming support will operate through this protectively redundantconfiguration, which consists of two physically separate systems, networked<strong>for</strong> high availability processing and storage redundancy with no single pointof failure. In the case that the primary ESTE malfunctions, the secondaryESTE will immediately assume control of the transaction-processing loadwithout loss of per<strong>for</strong>mance or data.We are offering Red Hat Linux AS as the Operating System (OS) software<strong>for</strong> the ESTE on the IBM x3850 servers (Intel Processors). Linux features apowerful 64-bit computing capability that is fully supported by IBM and isa key part of the IBM Linux strategy. With Linux as the OS, the <strong>Lottery</strong> willhave the benefits of the industry-leading, open source OS, specificallyflexibility, reliability, and broad-based support.Technology 3.1.3 – 35


In addition, with the ES solution, the Group and the <strong>Lottery</strong> will not onlyhave Linux as the OS <strong>for</strong> the ESTE, they will have a single (and unified)operating environment across all the key components of its ES solution: thePoint-Of-Sales (POS) devices, the communications front-end servers, themiddleware servers, as well as the ESTEs.GTECH has chosen to use one single OS across all these components inorder to streamline software upgrades, security patch management, andOS training <strong>for</strong> its customers. Using Linux across the key components alsoallows us to unify the powerful Reliability, Availability, and Serviceability(RAS) features that the IBM Linux strategy provides. The ESTE is built uponIBM’s powerful System xSeries server technology. The IBM x3850 seriesplat<strong>for</strong>m will function as the server <strong>for</strong> the ESTEs as located in the PDC andBDC, as well as <strong>for</strong> the Test systems, located in the PDC. The ESTEs willper<strong>for</strong>m gaming and transaction activities <strong>for</strong> our assembly of products,such as core game functionality and game management, transactionprocessing, transaction data management, accounting, and promotions.We also use the IBM x3500 M3 Virtual server <strong>for</strong> our configuration ofour domain products such as ES Connect (ESC). ES Connect is a highlysecure, high-volume, open standards network interface that connects yourtransaction processing engine to a multitude of sales channels, expandingyour opportunity <strong>for</strong> revenue growth. ESC can be interpreted as anintermediary network device between the <strong>Lottery</strong>’s WAN and LAN devices.It supports and exchanges messaging services between POS/Point-of-Access(POA) clients and its designated primary ESTE server. We achieve thismessage exchange service functionality with the customization of back-endapplication and configuration management services screens provided by theESC Graphical User Interface (GUI).In addition, the server is used <strong>for</strong> the configuration of our ES Portal, Web,and application servers. ES offers several suites of applications <strong>for</strong> improvedbusiness management. The suites of ES applications operate on twoload-balanced servers.To provide maximum availability of the ES applications and the supportingdatabase, our high-availability database domain employs IBM’s TSA andDB2’s High Availability Disaster Recovery (HADR) technologies. TSAmanages the failover between the two active/passive database servernodes, both located within the PDC. In the event of a failure of both servernodes at the PDC, DB2’s HADR manages synchronous data replicationbetween the PDC and BDC. Use of these technologies, coupled withour N-plexing technology, will ensure that your requirements <strong>for</strong>high-availability processing and storage redundancy will be met.Operational ProceduresThe Group is committed to providing the highest level of operationalintegrity to its customers. We will ensure the quality of our operatingservices by using industry best practices, including the Plan, Do, Check,Act (PDCA) framework, In<strong>for</strong>mation Technology (IT) best practices, and3.1.3 – 36 Technology


IT Management Process Maturity Model. These best practices makecertain that we are well organized to operate under strict procedures andprocesses, which, in turn, will ensure the operating integrity of your systems.Ensuring nothing less than total integrity in operations is our standard <strong>for</strong>the <strong>Illinois</strong> <strong>Lottery</strong>.We will use automated balancing programs to ensure data accuracy acrossall gaming functions. The ESTE contains several key sources <strong>for</strong> financialin<strong>for</strong>mation, such as accounting, product, and Master Journal File (MJF)transaction counts and amounts. The ability <strong>for</strong> the system to balance themany data sources in an automated fashion will reduce, if not eliminate thepotential <strong>for</strong> operator error and time associated with this function. Autobalancing compares the data from the different data sources and acrossprimary, secondary, and backup systems. It provides results that areviewable using the ES Online Product Management (OLPM) and ES BusinessIntelligence Suite features of the system.Our end-of-day processing checks internal data integrity and improvesprocessing speeds <strong>for</strong> specific products as applicable. As part of thisprocessing, ESTE compares the various key data sources from the followingfiles and verifies them against one another:• MJF.• Product Transaction Master File (PTM).• Product Definition File (PDF).• Invoice.• Today file (TOD).• Outstanding Ticket and Winners File (OTWF).N-Plexing: High Availability and Fault ToleranceThe unique nature of the lottery business (where uptime, security, andintegrity are vital), requires a customized solution. We call ours “N-plexing,”where “N” represents the number of identical systems to ensure fail-safefunctionality in our operations. It is a mission-critical feature that otherreplication or reprocessing approaches cannot offer. GTECH inventedN-plexing, which is still offered today because it has major benefits overother approaches to creating fault-tolerant systems.N-plexing offers the following advantages:• There is no real limit on the number of N-plexed systems (althoughwe rarely go above five, and our software is configured <strong>for</strong> a maximumof seven), which ensures the security of your data – it is never lost.• It doesn’t matter where the systems are located – they could be inthe same room or thousands of miles apart. The N-plexing logic doesnot change.• The systems need not be identical (a PC could theoretically N-plexwith a mainframe), allowing us to customize the system to the bestsolution supporting the business plan.• Data storage repository software does not need to be identical(this allows us to test new software or storage repositories on aspare system).Technology 3.1.3 – 37


Disaster RecoveryThe system configuration <strong>for</strong> the <strong>Illinois</strong> <strong>Lottery</strong> will not cause any delaysin play or disruption of processing (or loss or corruption of any data andtransactions received be<strong>for</strong>e the time of the failure) during a failover ortakeover between systems.Primary System Failure RecoveryIf the primary system of the production configuration at the PDCmalfunctions, the backup system in that production configurationimmediately assumes control of the network and resumestransaction-processing load without impacting system per<strong>for</strong>mance orincurring data loss. When the secondary system detects a failure in theprimary, it automatically:• Seizes control by disabling the failed computer’s ability to communicateover the Communications Local Area Networks (CommLANs).• Declares itself the “new primary.”• Notifies the communications servers of the new designation.• Resumes online processing as the new primary. There is virtually nodiscernible interruption of transaction processing.With the shift of the “live” role to the secondary system at the PDC, theESTE at the BDC will become the new secondary system.In order to reestablish the original configuration of our central systems, thefailed computer is repaired and reintroduced into the online configurationas a spare system via a command that allows the operator to specify therole of the system (“live,” “backup,” or “hot spare”) and to permit thatsystem to establish communications with the other online computers. Thereintroduced system will automatically commence resynchronization withthe primary system. Resynchronization can be accomplished even if one ofthe systems has been out of service <strong>for</strong> an extended period, with no effecton the system’s ability to process current transactions.Secondary System FailureIf the primary system of the production configuration at the PDC detectsabnormal backup system behavior, it automatically:• Releases the backup system from the online configuration.• Advises the operator via the system console that the secondarycomputer is no longer processing transactions.• Continues to update the remote spare ESTE (tertiary) as part of theconfiguration at the BDC. The tertiary remote system is promotedwithin the configuration, becoming the new backup or secondarysystem to the primary at the PDC.3.1.3 – 38 Technology


This process happens instantaneously. Online processing is not interrupted,no data is lost, and the primary system continues operating the games andprocessing transactions. The original secondary system, having beenreleased from the online configuration, is available <strong>for</strong> remedialmaintenance. When maintenance is completed, the original secondarysystem may be reintroduced into the online configuration as a spare. Duringthis process, its data is synchronized with that of the primary system.System SwitchoverThe computer operations staff will receive a customized set ofstraight<strong>for</strong>ward operations procedures <strong>for</strong> system switchover instructions(including a typical failure scenario and its procedures). We will thoroughlydevelop procedures specifically <strong>for</strong> system configuration, operationalenvironment, and in con<strong>for</strong>mance with policies established <strong>for</strong><strong>Lottery</strong> operations. Our use of N-plexing in the ES central systemconfiguration means that actions required during a failure situationare automatic (“auto-failover”).Time SynchronizationWe will provide a highly accurate and stable time-synchronizing mechanism<strong>for</strong> all systems in the configuration to ensure that these systems haveconsistent time recording and reporting <strong>for</strong> all events and transactions.GTECH uses the Network Time Protocol (NTP), RFC 1305 to providereal-time, stable, and accurate clock synchronization. The NTP providesaccuracies typically within a millisecond on LANs and up to a fewmilliseconds on WANs, relative to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) viaa Global Positioning System (GPS) satellite receiver and antenna.System Hardware and Software UpgradesAll system hardware and software will be replaced or enhanced via systemupgrades when necessary. The Group and GTECH will ensure that thesystem and its components do not become antiquated or outdated butare kept as current as necessary to support the business plan. All systemhardware and software will be fully supported by the respectivemanufacturer or supplier at all times during the contract and <strong>for</strong> a periodof 12 months thereafter.If support <strong>for</strong> any hardware module, component, or software is discontinuedby the manufacturer or supplier, we will replace said module, component,or software, prior to that support being discontinued. GTECH will alsoconduct annual reviews to ascertain if any hardware or software needsto be replaced or enhanced and will take appropriate action to ensurewe have current and functioning system hardware and software.Technology 3.1.3 – 39


Quantitative Per<strong>for</strong>manceThe <strong>Illinois</strong> <strong>Lottery</strong> can be assured that the Enterprise Series (ES) solution,as delivered, will meet all of the quantitative per<strong>for</strong>mance criteria as set<strong>for</strong>th in the PMA, including the desired number of retailer terminals to besupported now and in the future. We recognize the capacities defined inthe Operating Standards and will meet or exceed them:• $100,000,000 in sales.• $10,000,000,000 jackpot.• 15,000 terminals. (Our ES Connect server supports 30,000 terminalssimultaneously; this will allow the <strong>Lottery</strong> to expand at will.)The following figure provides a synopsis of the Gaming System QuantitativePer<strong>for</strong>mance Criteria and the levels of per<strong>for</strong>mance provided by theES-based Central System solution.Figure 3.1.3 – 15:ES Gaming System Per<strong>for</strong>mance CapacitiesES System Capacities <strong>for</strong>:Per<strong>for</strong>mance of ES SystemSystem Uptime Will meet the <strong>Lottery</strong>’s uptime minimum of 99.00%Sales $100,000,000Jackpot $10,000,000,000Terminals 15,000(Capable of more than 30,000 terminals – EXCEEDS)Transactions per Minute 150,000Validations &Cancel TransactionsSingle Play Response TimeMulti-Play Response TimeSystem Recovery SpeedIn our recent New York benchmark, we demonstrated 600,000transactions per minute, including wagers, cancellations, andvalidationsProcess single play online tickets in four secondsFaster than five seconds process time depending on ticket<strong>for</strong>mat and contentsThe backup data center system can take over from the primarydata center system in less than one minute without the loss ofany transactions or interruption of user access3.1.3 – 40 Technology


System Management and MonitoringDependable system management and monitoring capabilities are essentialto a successful lottery jurisdiction such as <strong>Illinois</strong>. The Enterprise Series (ES)system management and monitoring tools described below will ensure thehighest levels of system per<strong>for</strong>mance and integrity to the <strong>Illinois</strong> <strong>Lottery</strong>.We will also provide a staff that is skilled and experienced in operations.Together our ES solution, tools, and resources will provide the means tomaximize your system uptime.Our systems management and monitoring capabilities will be available atboth the Primary Data Center (PDC) at the Backup Data Center (BDC). Thesystem management and monitoring tools are fully developed andfield-proven in numerous ES jurisdiction installations.We will provide several applications <strong>for</strong> systems management andmonitoring. These include:• Tivoli: A console management software solution that providescentralized portal and event monitoring and management ofinfrastructure components as well as tracking the availability andper<strong>for</strong>mance of ES systems.• Operator Console (OperCon): A utility application that enables thecentral gaming systems operations personnel to monitor and controlthe active products running on the equipment of the ES solution.• Enterprise Series Online Product Management (ES OLPM): AGraphical User Interface (GUI) that provides real-time monitoringof gaming data such as wagering activity, transaction processingactivity, and retailer in<strong>for</strong>mation.We have also selected the best combination of network-management toolsto resolve any complex problem-determination situations. Our integratedNetwork Management System (NMS) tools will per<strong>for</strong>m networkmonitoring, event recording, and monitoring of protocols. These toolswill also show the status of the network, including data communications,and the functioning of all network circuits on the system. Completenetwork-monitoring tools will be located at both the PDC and the BDC.We use a hierarchical password protocol to ensure that authorized staff canaccess only that part of the system that they need to; the protocolsegregates duties and limits the staff’s ability to misuse the system. We willalso restrict “superuser” capabilities to access and change any systemcomponents. To control access to the system, Enterprise Series includesthe ES Management Services suite of applications, specifically the UserSecurity application, on the management terminals. Through thisWeb-based application, an administrator can control <strong>Lottery</strong> staff and theGroup access to the system’s management application.

ReportingThe dynamic reporting solution the Group is including consists of acombination of best practices from the <strong>Lottery</strong> industry. Some reportswill be generated by the ESTE and others will be generated by the ESBusiness Intelligence Suite (ESBI). Since all reports are accessed throughthe ES System Portal, authorized users such as <strong>Lottery</strong> personnel will notneed to worry about the source of their reporting in<strong>for</strong>mation, as they willhave the in<strong>for</strong>mation they need in reports integrated quickly and easily ontheir desktops.The Business Intelligence plat<strong>for</strong>m we are offering to the <strong>Lottery</strong>, aspart of SAP BusinessObjects, is composed of a flexible and scalableinfrastructure. This plat<strong>for</strong>m, included with ESBI, is designed with an openarchitecture and the future in mind. It is fully scalable and supports the<strong>Lottery</strong>’s future growth and changing requirements.ES Online Product Management (OLPM) will provide the <strong>Lottery</strong> withadditional reporting functionality. ES OLPM, also developed by GTECH,is a Web-based Graphical User Interface (GUI) that enables real-timeobservation of the gaming data on the system. As part of the ESManagement Services (ESMS) suite of applications, ES OLPM allowsauthorized users to look into the system in real time, via a managementterminal. ES OLPM is accessed via the Web-based ES System Portal.Reports <strong>for</strong> users are greatly simplified with the ESBI. All of the in<strong>for</strong>mationauthorized users need (including sales metrics, sales trends, reports, andcharts) is available with a single click of the mouse. Plus, reports can be<strong>for</strong>matted to display a wide variety of data in the style that best serves eachone of the authorized users.The ES System Portal is the entry into this new world of reportingcapabilities. As shown in the following graphic, the ES System Portalconnects authorized staff to the ES applications they need, quickly andseamlessly, to do their jobs. Through this portal, users can search throughall of the reports on the system, easily edit the report <strong>for</strong>mats, and distributeand share final reports with selected co-workers. The new reporting solutionincludes the SAP BusinessObjects component which will enable authorizedusers to have all of the reports they need to efficiently conduct business.The reporting solution will be supported by the data warehouse, amulti-purpose data repository.The reporting solution also includes the Per<strong>for</strong>mance Dashboard. TheExecutive staff of both the <strong>Lottery</strong> and the Group will have an exciting,valuable tool as an integral part of its reporting package with the includedXcelsius tool set.

CommunicationsA Strategic Component of the Technological InfrastructureBecause the communications network is a crucial link to deliver revenue,we consider communications a vital part of your gaming system. Ournetwork designs incorporate levels of redundancy and design insight thatother vendors do not; <strong>for</strong> example we plan to locate our primary Earthstation <strong>for</strong> VSAT solution in North Las Vegas, Nevada, an area thatstatistically has only one day a year where the weather could causedegradation in VSAT service. Our secondary Earth station is located acrossthe country in Germantown, Maryland, far enough to allow only a smallchance that there would be weather-related issues in both locations.We build an end-to-end solution directly into our terminals, network, andhost systems. Our solutions provide the most advanced connection typeavailable to lotteries today, allowing <strong>for</strong> uptime levels that can be as highas 99.999 percent; this equals less than five minutes of downtime per year.The communications network needs and requirements of every lotteryare unique and require customized solutions. Our customers directly benefitfrom our depth of knowledge and experience with multiple communicationstechnologies, and our extensive search to provide the right technology andnetwork design <strong>for</strong> each lottery customer and each one of its retailers. Ourindustry leading network per<strong>for</strong>mance metrics prove our success in matchingthe right technology to the unique requirements of each lottery customer.Proven Network ExperienceThere is simply no other lottery system provider that has designed,installed, and managed more lottery networks, leveraging more diversetechnology types, serving more lotteries and more retailers, at the highestlevels of availability than GTECH.Proven TechnologySingle Very Small Aperture Terminal (VSAT) TechnologyWorld-class lotteries around the world have seen the advantage ofdeploying VSAT networks, and, more to the point, GTECH’s VSAT network.In fact, almost 40 percent of all U.S. lottery locations are connected usingour VSAT technology including Cali<strong>for</strong>nia, New York and New Jersey. VSAThas been proven to provide very reliable, high bandwidth connections toretail locations. While all vendors have the capability to provide“point-to-point” communications, our engineers have the experience andknow-how to design Wide Area Networks (WANs) in diverse geographicareas and among varied retailer types like those in <strong>Illinois</strong>. The VSAT networkis the best available online retailer network because GTECH’s networkdesign incorporates features no other vendor or commodity VSATuplink-service provider can match.3.1.3 – 46 Technology


An important advantage is that with a VSAT network we will assume soleresponsibility <strong>for</strong> delivering and operating your communications network.Working with an experienced vendor with a proven record of delivering andmanaging large-scale networks and multiple hubs will reduce risk and assureyou of total accountability from one reliable source.GTECH’s VSAT network incorporates a simple, secure architectureengineered specifically <strong>for</strong> the <strong>Lottery</strong>’s marketplace. With VSAT we providea dedicated, always-on, private VSAT network.GTECH pioneered VSAT <strong>for</strong> lottery use in 1991, and has operated privatesatellite hubs and earth stations since that time. Since 1997, we haveoperated geographically diverse hubs, and we have offered dual satellitediversity since 2004. With VSAT you have triple satellite diversity, whichmeans that in the very rare event of satellite degradation only one-thirdof wireless retailers will be affected. With three hubs, there is also greatergeographic and system level redundancy.VSAT Equipment at the RetailersVSAT is composed of an Outdoor Unit (ODU), i.e., a satellite dish antenna,and an Indoor Unit (IDU), which are connected by coaxial cabling. For theODU, we use a non-penetrating roof mount to avoid any possible damageto the retailer’s building. The mount is secured by building block weights,which weigh a mere 40 pounds per square foot – much less than an adultstanding on the roof – yet the total distributed weight can withstandsustained winds exceeding 100 miles per hour.The ODU comprises a satellite dish antenna and support bracket. Together,they sit on an area no more than four feet by four feet. The ODU alsoincludes a Low-Noise Block (LNB), which receives the satellite signals, anda transmitter, which sends the uplink signals.Figure 3.1.3 – 17:Examples of Non-Penetrating Roof Mount Satellite Dish AntennasStandard satellite dish antenna mounts include the non-penetrating roofmount, wall mount, no-hole pole, and universal canopy mounts. The VSATsite survey will detail which of these mounts will be used. (Note: While thepreferred mount is the non-penetrating roof mount, the actual mount isdependent on building construction and line-of-sight consideration.)Technology 3.1.3 – 47


The IDU is composed of receiver and transmitter boards and an interface tocommunicate with the online terminal. The IDU is often compared to a modemin function and is typically located within six feet of the lottery terminal.It is important to note that our VSAT is of a much higher grade thanthe typical consumer-grade satellite television network. Satellite TV isa “receive only” solution. Our solution is a two-way network. SatelliteTV systems are not designed to support 99 percent availability and areoften prone to issues during rain and snow. Drawing upon our vast VSATexperience –we have the most experience in states with storm seasons andweather conditions similar to those in the State of <strong>Illinois</strong> – we designedour VSAT solution with appropriate dishes and power levels to overcomeissues caused by rain and other storm conditions. These multiple levels ofredundancy exceed typical business grade VSAT services.2.5/3G Fixed WirelessThe fixed wireless portion of your Dual Comm Inside solution will beprovided by 2.5/3G Fixed Wireless providers. Fixed wireless is not a typical“cellular” connection, as the connections will be dedicated and data-only.This solution will provide high bandwidth IP communications to <strong>Lottery</strong>retailers, in order to support your current level of business and facilitatefuture opportunities to open up new distribution channels and enhanceyour game offering to players.Both 2.5G and 3G wireless networks provide high bandwidth and support<strong>for</strong> IP communications. We have successfully deployed thousands ofterminals utilizing 2.5/3G Fixed Wireless. Network coverage variesdepending upon building location, similar to cell phone coverage. A varietyof wireless network providers support GTECH lottery networks.Frame RelayFrame Relay is not a traditional, multi-drop, circuit-switched technology,but rather a fast, packet-switching protocol that can be used to connect<strong>Lottery</strong> retailers in the rare circumstances in which satellite or other wirelesscoverage is not an option. It is a telecommunications service designed <strong>for</strong>efficient data transmission of intermittent traffic between end points in aWide Area Network (WAN). Frame Relay has been used worldwide <strong>for</strong> morethan 20 years and is a proven and reliable technology. The Frame Relayprovides a high bandwidth of up to 56 Kbps online connection to each<strong>Lottery</strong> retailer – and consolidates all traffic onto a redundant backbone ineach data center.At each Frame Relay retail location, routers will be used to terminate theaccess lines and provide access to the Frame Relay online terminal. Theserouters will be connected to the online terminal via Ethernet. The FrameRelay circuits will be routed to the data center, and these circuits areterminated into the redundant DS-3 ATM backbone.3.1.3 – 48 Technology


Dual Comm InsideDual Comm Inside is proprietary to GTECH Corporation and is patentpending. The combination of two distinct (VSAT and 2.5/3G Fixed Wireless)communications technologies is equal to more than the “sum of its parts”and provides exponentially greater reliability to your retailers. For instance,the diversity provided by VSAT+2.5/3G Fixed Wireless combines the highavailability of VSAT technology with commercially available Fixed 2.5/3Gtechnology, such as General Packet Radio Service (GPRS); Enhanced DataRates <strong>for</strong> Global System <strong>for</strong> Mobile (GSM) Evolution (EDGE); Evolution -Data Only (EV-DO); or High-Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA). If theVSAT link fails, the terminal’s internal failover mechanisms will switch to the2.5/3G Fixed Wireless technology. The 2.5/3G Fixed Wireless portion ofthe network will also provide an added level of diversity by employingdifferent technology standards from geographically diversecommunications towers.The failover from the primary technology to the secondary technology <strong>for</strong>both solution types is automatic and seamless, and requires absolutely zeroinvolvement from a retailer. In fact, retailers and players will not be awareof which communications path is being used.Dual Comm Inside is a combination of two proven communicationstechnologies, VSAT and 2.5/3G Fixed Wireless, running simultaneously. Inthe rare case of a primary communications technology failure, the secondarycommunications technology will take over automatically, with no need <strong>for</strong>anyone to flip a switch. Our current availability estimate <strong>for</strong> this solutionstands at 99.97 percent. As you can see, our Dual Comm Inside network isdesigned to provide a very high level of uptime.Following is a summary of the features and benefits of thecommunications networks.Technology 3.1.3 – 49

The fonts, colors, and screen layouts are designedto make reading retailer messages, reports, and transactions (including listsof past transactions) a simple task.To provide retailers with the best-possible user interface, we redesignedour Altura GT1200 GUI leveraging our expert R&D team to help us applythe trends and best practices of the In<strong>for</strong>mation Technology (IT) industryand also utilized our own extensive retailer research. The result is a GUIwith features that are simple to use and allow quick access <strong>for</strong> selectinggame type and common multi-draw and wager amounts.Technology 3.1.3 – 59


Our GUIs automatically display the entire transaction a retailer or salesassociate is processing. When manually entering a game, the retailer seesa “build a ticket” feature on the game’s GUI screen as the sale is entered.This helps the sales associate see that they are entering the correct numbersand what the sale will be – and eliminates the frustration of cancellationsand adjustments.<strong>Illinois</strong> <strong>Lottery</strong> retailers will find our GUIs logical and straight<strong>for</strong>ward tonavigate. For instance, the GUI display <strong>for</strong> every game remains the same,allowing retailers to learn the screens and become very adept at movingthrough transactions.Viewing AnglesRetailers have varying degrees of lighting, both natural and artificial, intheir stores.

Play Slip ScannerAlong with placing wagers manually or other lawfully available methods,the Altura GT1200 accurately reads player-completed play slips <strong>for</strong> placingwagers and other gaming-relevant documents. We also designed a readerthat provides a first read rate of 99.9 percent.Figure 3.1.3 – 26:Selling Tickets Made Easy with the Altura GT1200Quick and Easy Sales: The AlturaGT1200’s document/play slip readermakes selling tickets a snap.Loading the play slip at the top of the terminal allows the player to viewthe operation ensuring their slip – the slip they handed to the retailer – isthe one that was fed through the reader.Play slip documents are easily inserted in any direction as long as they don’texceed the 8.5-inch width of the reader. If the play slip is incorrectly marked,it pops the document back out the top so the retailer can re-insert it withoutbeing confused about whether it was read or not.Rapid Feeding of Play SlipsThe Altura GT1200 can process play slips at a rate of 25 inches per second (ips).Jam-Resistant Reader – Retailer-Friendly DesignThe Altura GT1200’s design is retailer-friendly; your retailers will appreciatehaving little to no problematic paper jams, and the open paper path makesclearing any jam or non-readable document a breeze. In the unlikely eventof a jam, it can be fixed in less than three seconds by the retailer.Technology 3.1.3 – 61

Compact Validation Terminal (CVT+)As part of our Altura Family of Terminals, our Retailer Compact ValidationTerminal (CVT), weighing just over one pound, will allow the <strong>Lottery</strong> toexpand into retail locations where counter space is at a premium. Everyretailer has different needs, particularly potential new retailers that areunfamiliar with traditional lottery equipment. The CVT+ is thesmallest-footprint terminal in the industry.The CVT+ is the smallest-footprint terminal in the industry.The CVT+ is extremely compact, but it provides all of the same functionsand features (minus a play slip reader) as a full–size terminal, including:• Sales (manual and Quick Pick).• Validations.• Provision <strong>for</strong> manual entry of play slips.• Instant Ticket inventory.• Ability to print on lottery-grade paper.• All retailer reports.All of these functions are available in a terminal that measures just8.27 inches (21 cm) long x 3.74 inches (9.5 cm) wide x 2.95 inches (7.49 cm)high – about the size of a small milk carton. Because this machine is sosmall, it will enable you to expand into stores where you currently donot have a presence. This terminal would be ideal <strong>for</strong> locations that areinterested in selling primarily from self-service devices such as gas stationkiosks, or at temporary locations or trade shows. Because the CVT+ terminalprovides an online solution <strong>for</strong> small niche businesses such gas stationkiosks, it makes the perfect solution <strong>for</strong> expansion.Figure 3.1.3 – 30:The Retailer CVT+ TerminalConvenience in the Palm of YourHand: Small in size but big in value,our CVT+ terminal validates Instantand Online Tickets without taking upretailers’ valuable counter space.Technology 3.1.3 – 65


We have deployed more than 24,000 specialty lottery terminals similar tothese with the Spanish lottery ONCE, and in Switzerland, Chile, Trinidad &Tobago, and Guatemala.The addition of the AccuTherm Supreme printer will allow the use oflottery-grade paper stock to print online tickets. It’s the ideal solution <strong>for</strong>chain stores that may be willing to sell <strong>Lottery</strong> through self-service terminalsbut don’t have the counter space <strong>for</strong> full-sized online terminals.Peripherals17” LCD <strong>for</strong> ESMMThe <strong>Lottery</strong> will enjoy more advertising possibilities with the 17” LCD thataccommodates Enterprise Series MultiMedia (ESMM) as well as the abilityto operate monitor games at retail locations.Self-Service Validation: Ticket-ScanOur Ticket-Scan device can safely and securely check tickets. Ticket-Scanallows players to check their own online and scratch-off tickets <strong>for</strong> winnersand prize winnings.MessagingThe Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD) at the top of the Ticket-Scan clearlyindicates if a ticket is a winner (or an error has occurred), and, to preserveplayer privacy, it does not indicate dollar amounts.In fact, the 2- by 20-character VFD allows retailers to display a variety ofmessages, including, but not limited to, “Winner,” “Not a Winner,” “Claimat <strong>Lottery</strong>,” “Try Scanning Again,” etc. The VFD can show a single-line ortwo-line message of up to 20 characters.Carmanah Jackpot SignWith Carmanah’s wireless updatable jackpot signs, jackpot data can be sentdirectly from the Altura GT1200 terminal via a standard USB connection tothe signs transmitter. Once the in<strong>for</strong>mation is transferred from the AlturaGT1200 to Carmanah’s USB utility, the data is then wirelessly transmittedto the sign via secure, encrypted data. Up to three jackpots can be displayedper sign and many signs within a 100 foot area can be remotely updatedat once.External KeypadOur experience with the use of external keypads and touch screens is thatonly an ergonomically mounted design will facilitate two-handed entry – afeature many of the highest-volume <strong>Illinois</strong> <strong>Lottery</strong> retailers demand. Withthe external keypad, you will have the best of both worlds: a cutting-edgetouch screen with a custom-designed Graphical User Interface (GUI), andfull-travel keypad <strong>for</strong> manual entry.3.1.3 – 66 Technology


Instant Ticket Dispensing Machines (ITDMs)Gemini Ultra & Gemini InstantThe Gemini Ultra is a new generation player-activated sales terminal thathas the ability to print online tickets and sell instant tickets. For trueflexibility, the machine can start out as an instant-only machine (GeminiInstant) and then be upgraded to sell online games as well (Gemini Ultra).This newly patented ITDM has a modern design and expands on our provenITDM push-button solution by using push buttons <strong>for</strong> both online andinstant ticket sales. The Gemini Ultra is a full-size machine that sells instant(24 bins) and online games using six “Quick Pick” push buttons, plus it hasa built-in ES MultiMedia (ESMM) advertising screen.The Gemini Ultra also has 1 GB flash memory and 1 GB dram memory.The Gemini comes with a base black cabinet which will be customized with agraphical trim kit designed with the <strong>Lottery</strong> rebranding campaign of the Group.A photograph of the Gemini Ultra is provided in the following graphic.Figure 3.1.3 – 31:ITDM InnovationTechnology 3.1.3 – 67

It has the same capabilitiesas a traditional retailer terminal. This 6.5-inch diagonal touch screen allowsplayers to provide answers to questions via simple yes/no buttons and <strong>for</strong>retailers to per<strong>for</strong>m important tasks such as game loading and reportprinting quickly and efficiently.Upon opening the front door, the retailer enters his or her password on thetouch screen, allowing access to all machine management functions. Touchscreen functionality is available only to the retailer and Field ServiceTechnician (FST) when the front door is unlocked and open. The touchscreen menu is simple, intuitive, and easy to use, especially when comparedto our competitor’s nested keypad menu screens.Instant Ticket Pack ManagementOur patented SmartLoad Plus dispensing system is designed specifically tomake loading Instant Tickets into Gemini as quick and simple as possible<strong>for</strong> retailers. In fact, with SmartLoad Plus, loading a pack of tickets into aticket bin takes about 30 seconds.Technology 3.1.3 – 69


Loading with SmartLoad PlusEntry of correct ticket size and price in<strong>for</strong>mation is critical to a successfulITDM program. Gemini features a quick and easy way to avoid data entryerrors. The first time a retailer loads a brand-new Instant Game into theGemini, he/she enters the ticket in<strong>for</strong>mation <strong>for</strong> the game using the touchscreen inside the cabinet. The retailer is then prompted to enter the numberof tickets in the pack, the price of the tickets, and the size of the tickets.Once entered, this in<strong>for</strong>mation is stored in the database and never needsto be entered again. For reloads of the game, the retailer just scans the barcode on the pack of tickets with the handheld reader and then confirmsthe in<strong>for</strong>mation is correct. The entire process takes less than 30 seconds.There's no need to reenter the ticket in<strong>for</strong>mation, because it's already inthe ITDM database. SmartLoad Plus simply recalls all the game's parametersfrom the database each time a pack is reloaded.The simplicity of this process pleases retailers and significantly reduces clerktraining and associated labor costs. That means busy retailers can confidentlyassign their clerks to the task of loading tickets into the machine.Security and ReliabilityGemini is built with security and durability in mind. To ensure security, GeminiUltra has a 14-gauge steel cabinet to ensure it is secure in the retailenvironment. The Instant Ticket display windows and online game buttonsare constructed of an impact-resistant Lexan material. Lexan provides a highlysecure and extremely durable environment that resists breaking, shattering,scratching, theft attempts, intrusion, and accidental damage. Players will notbe able to press one button and accidentally get the wrong game.In addition, a chain can be looped through the integral feet of Gemini <strong>for</strong>added security. The machine can also be anchored to the floor from theinside. These two enhancements will help keep the machine secure in anyretail environment. The ticket retrieval area is also rein<strong>for</strong>ced to stop theftattempts and has been enhanced to allow <strong>for</strong> smoother ticket dispensing.Audible Alarm SystemLike the current EDSQ ITDM, as an additional security feature <strong>for</strong> retailers’peace of mind, the Gemini is equipped with a triple-alarm system. Audiblealarms sound to alert retailers should the machine lose its AC power,experience a “tilt” condition, or be subjected to unauthorized entry. Thetilt/shock alarm and power loss alarm will sound until disarmed by a manualon/off switch. The dispensing machine will return to its previous conditionprior to the power outage (when AC power is restored) or tilt. The110-decibel alarms are easily heard above normal store noises and within15 meters of the dispensing machines.3.1.3 – 70 Technology


Details on the Gemini’s three alarms are as follows:1. Tilt/Shock Alarm: The tilt alarm incorporated into the Gemini sets offa 110-decibel alarm if anyone tampers with the machine. This alarmoffers more protection than simple tilt alarms, because the alarm istriggered not only by an actual tilt but also if the machine is hit or shaken.To disable the alarm, the retailer must insert a key into the lock, openthe main door of the machine, then reach into the main ticketcompartment and flip a concealed switch.2. Power Loss Alarm: This alarm system activates if an intruder tries tounplug the machine. A self-contained “power fail” alarm will sound, alsoat 110 decibels. As with the tilt/shock alarm, the retailer must unlockand open the main door of the machine, then reach into the main ticketcompartment and flip a concealed switch to disarm this alarm.3. Open Door Alarm: In order to gain entry to the inside of the machine,an authorized retailer must access the retailer menu screen, enter aspecial password, and hit the Door Open icon on the touch screen.Failure to follow this procedure sets off a 110-decibel alarm that canonly be cancelled by using the correct entry procedure. Each time themain door is opened and remains open, the alarm system activates. Ifthe main door remains open after 90 seconds of keypad inactivity, thealarm sounds again as a reminder to the operator that the machine is inan unsecured state. This alarm remains in an active state until theoperator properly secures the main door.Upgraded BursterThe Quad Burster mechanism provides a smooth, jam-resistant ticketseparation and dispensing action. It is the only proven technology <strong>for</strong> cleanand reliable separation of individual tickets. Competitors’ solutions havenot held up. The bursting technology dispenses more than 2 billion InstantTickets annually from more than 400,000 bursters in the field.Waterfall DoorThe Group is committed to providing the best devices available to ourcustomers and players, and that includes ongoing improvements to theGemini. A new waterfall door was added to the inside cabinet that isespecially important to the reliability of the machine. This door is locatedbetween the ticket windows and the Burster and is designed to reducestatic, which can impede ticket dispensing. Other vendors incur problemswith static build-up and have to wipe the inside of the cabinet with ananti-static cloth.Data StorageData is continuously stored with Gemini over its lifetime. Using the lifetimesales report, data is always on hand <strong>for</strong> tracking and reporting purposes.Additionally, Gemini stores data on a fiscal, quarterly, monthly, weekly, anddaily level <strong>for</strong> reporting convenience.Technology 3.1.3 – 71


Backup Power SupplyIn the event of a power loss, the battery-backed Static Random AccessMemory (SRAM), which is incorporated into Gemini, will save, retrieve, anddisplay in<strong>for</strong>mation (such as player credits, inventories, and salesin<strong>for</strong>mation) stored in the vending machine.Enterprise Series MultiMediaIntegrated into the top of the front door of the Gemini Ultra is a monitordisplay that is ESMM-capable. The ESMM advertising display provides a goodopportunity to reach <strong>Illinois</strong> <strong>Lottery</strong> players at the point of sale. This is alsoan easy and cost-effective way to showcase your logo across all your retaillocations without investing in new static POS signage. It’s a great newway to educate players about exciting news, such as the latest games,promotions, high jackpots, winner awareness, and winning numbers. It’s alsoan excellent opportunity to encourage impulse play of the <strong>Lottery</strong> games.Coin and Bill AcceptorThe JCM Corporation currency acceptor used in our Gemini Ultra can acceptbills in denominations of $1, $5, $10 and $20. The currency acceptor canalso be easily updated to accept any new versions of paper currency thatthe government is planning to introduce and includes a reprogrammablecapability that enables quick, easy updates.Preventing Underage PlayWe recognize that, with the popularity of self-service lottery play on therise, it’s an increasing challenge to deter play by individuals under the ageof 18. The Group fully understands and appreciates the high priority the<strong>Lottery</strong> places on protecting underage individuals.To promote responsible gaming and prevent underage play, our solutionprovides <strong>for</strong> the use of a bar code reader to accurately validate a player’sage using, <strong>for</strong> example, licenses among other methods Gemini supportsthat have age in<strong>for</strong>mation stored on the card. Most recently, a member ofthe <strong>Northstar</strong> <strong>Lottery</strong> Group developed age-verification self-servicevalidation solutions <strong>for</strong> the North Carolina Education <strong>Lottery</strong> and theHoosier <strong>Lottery</strong> in Indiana. We are also working with several large Europeanlotteries such as Finland, Spain (ONCE) and Le Francais Des Jeux toimplement age verification on their self service devices. Aside fromtechnology controls used to support age verification, we incorporate bestpractice guidelines into our solutions to prohibit <strong>Lottery</strong> sales to those whohave not reached legal age.The following are examples of other Gemini age verification best practices:• Bright and clear graphic labeling that identifies the mandatory agerequirement to play.• Use of scrolling LED and monitor display messages, which rein<strong>for</strong>ceage requirements.3.1.3 – 72 Technology


Remote ControlRetailers can discreetly, quickly, and easily disable the Gemini remotely.Giving retailers the ability to monitor the Gemini and stop players whoappear to be underage from using the machine is another benefit to the<strong>Lottery</strong> and an added security feature <strong>for</strong> retailers. Gemini is also equippedwith a remote on/off mechanism. The remote transmitters use RadioFrequency (RF) signals and are immune to any line-of-sight obstructions.The device has a tested minimum range of 30 meters and may typically beused <strong>for</strong> a working range of 45 meters or more.Connection to the Central SystemGemini is very advanced in part because it is connected directly to thecentral system (ESTE). With a direct Ethernet connection to thecommunications network, real-time ITDM reports and alerts are stillavailable to retailers through their traditional online terminals. Retailershave immediate, real-time access to important actionable in<strong>for</strong>mation anderror messages, such as:• Empty and low ticket bins.• Cash box full.• Ticket bins jammed.• Paper stock low.• Paper stock out.• Online printer status.Important in<strong>for</strong>mation from the self service Gemini will be sent to the centralsystem, logged, and made available <strong>for</strong> use. The Group can set parametersdefining what in<strong>for</strong>mation is made available and to whom. While Geminifeeds in<strong>for</strong>mation to the central system on a continuous basis throughoutthe day, retailers will also get immediate alerts at their online terminals.Also, because the Gemini is an online lottery terminal with the samereporting capabilities as the Altura® GT1200 terminal, all sales andinventory reports pertaining to the Gemini will be available in real time toboth retailers and the <strong>Lottery</strong>. These design ef<strong>for</strong>ts reflect deliberate TotalCost of Ownership reduction by relying on the proven POS architecture totruly make it a “family” of solutions based on a common architecture.Printer <strong>for</strong> Receipt PrintingGemini is equipped with the AccuTherm Supreme kiosk ticketprinter/presenter to allow <strong>for</strong> printing online tickets and reports. Thethermal printer is similar to the retailer terminal printer and is capable ofprinting bar codes, alphanumeric text including characters, and bit imagegraphics. No ink cartridges or ribbons are required, which makes operationsimple. The high-speed printer can print reports and tickets in a matter ofseconds. The printer, located inside the locked cabinet, can send errorcodes to the central system, including “paper low” and “paper out.”Technology 3.1.3 – 73


Self-Validation of Instant and Online TicketsA conveniently built-in 2D reader on the Gemini is available to allow playersto check their tickets allowing a retailer the possibility to place the unit inan unmonitored area. The player can scan their instant or online ticket viathe 2D barcode reader and decide to either obtain a voucher to get cashat the retailer or take “winning credits” and apply them to the Gemini Ultra<strong>for</strong> further instant or online games to be purchased.Expanding on Success with GeminiNew points of distribution have been opened with self service equipment.The Gemini will continue on that successful path to open up more retailtrade styles and <strong>Lottery</strong> points of sale. The Group is confident that thelatest-generation ITDM, Gemini, will continue the tradition by opening newdistribution points in the State of <strong>Illinois</strong>.Confidential material begins here.3.1.3 – 74 Technology

3.1.4.1Situational AnalysisThe <strong>Illinois</strong> <strong>Lottery</strong> generated average weekly per capita sales of $1.47in 2009, which ranked it in the second quartile, or 16th among U.S.lotteries <strong>for</strong> total online per capita sales. While online sales per<strong>for</strong>manceof Pick 3, Pick 4, combined Mega Millions/Powerball, and raffle games allincreased in FY2010, several factors – household income, demographiccharacteristics, and propensity-to-play research – support the conclusionthat the <strong>Illinois</strong> <strong>Lottery</strong> is capable of per<strong>for</strong>ming within the first quartile <strong>for</strong>online sales.Much of this gap can be explained by operational constraints the <strong>Lottery</strong>currently faces:• An insufficiently penetrated retail network.• A limited advertising budget.• The absence of a monitor game <strong>for</strong> social establishments, whichin some other states represents a significant portion of onlinemarket growth.After enacting the best practice recommendations in the following plan,the Group expects that the <strong>Illinois</strong> <strong>Lottery</strong> will rank among the highestper<strong>for</strong>ming (excluding monitor games) and most respected lotteries in theU.S. industry <strong>for</strong> online game sales, namely, New York, New Jersey, Georgia,and Pennsylvania.Figure 3.1.4 – 1:3.1.4 – 2 Online and Internet Product Innovation


Operating within the highest standards of responsible gaming, the plan <strong>for</strong>online products was developed to:• Improve players’ experience.• Attract new customer segments.• Responsibly increase <strong>Lottery</strong> net profit.The following figure highlights the opportunity to grow sales between50 percent and 110 percent in <strong>Illinois</strong>. It compares <strong>Illinois</strong> per capita saleswith the U.S. average <strong>for</strong> per capita sales of online games. Per capita salesof peer states and other U.S. best practice jurisdictions are also shown.Figure 3.1.4 – 2:A substantial portion of the gap between <strong>Illinois</strong> current online sales andsales of peer and best practice states is due to the fact that <strong>Illinois</strong> currentlydoes not offer keno, which is a proven and significant driver <strong>for</strong> sales growth.(In the previous figure, bar chart portions marked with dotted lines portraykeno sales.)Online and Internet Product Innovation 3.1.4 – 3


Average weekly per capita per<strong>for</strong>mance of individual games in 2010 variesdepending on the product. The next figure compares the weekly per capitasales of <strong>Illinois</strong> <strong>Lottery</strong> online games to other U.S. lotteries’ games.Figure 3.1.4 – 3:A summary of the previous figure reveals the following data:• Little Lotto: The eighth best cash lotto game in the country out of39 states at $0.16, though it suffered a decline in FY2010.• Total multi-state jackpot game sales (Mega Millions and Powerballcombined): Currently 22 nd of 44 states at $0.43, with strong initialsales levels of Powerball.• Numbers games: Second quartile sales of Pick 3 and Pick 4.• Lotto: Currently 17 th of 39 states at $0.14.In terms of product innovation and game changes to its portfolio, the<strong>Illinois</strong> <strong>Lottery</strong> has been active. Since 2000, the <strong>Lottery</strong> has made 67 gameadditions, modifications, or deletions to its online portfolio, including themany changes to the Pick ’n Play product line. The following figure listsonline game changes the <strong>Lottery</strong> has made in the last three years.3.1.4 – 4 Online and Internet Product Innovation


Figure 3.1.4 – 4:History of Changes to <strong>Illinois</strong> Online GamesSome of these changes have proven to be very successful. Among the mostsuccessful innovations were:• The Powerball launch, occurred at the end of January 2010. Weeklyaverage combined sales of Powerball and Mega Millions are up40 percent over prior Mega Millions sales at comparable jackpotlevels. Approximately 16 percent of Powerball sales are representedby Power Play, ranking <strong>Illinois</strong> fourth among the 11 Mega Millionsstates that added a Powerball cross-sell.• The introduction of Megaplier, at the end of May 2010. Since itslaunch, Megaplier has generated 9 percent of total Mega Millionsales. While Megaplier represents a smaller portion of overall gamesales than Power Play does of Powerball sales, its per<strong>for</strong>mance is inline with other states that launched the add-on feature after thelaunch of the base game.• The Raffle category, introduced in 2007. <strong>Illinois</strong> has had remarkablesuccess in the raffle category. <strong>Illinois</strong> is one of the few states that areable to run two raffles per year and sell out both within the first30 days.Other game introductions, such as Pick ’n Play games and Extra <strong>for</strong> Pick 3and Pick 4, were later discontinued.Online and Internet Product Innovation 3.1.4 – 5


Looking at the comparative per<strong>for</strong>mance of each game, we havedetermined that the optimal range of portfolio modifications shouldaddress the following:• Multi-state games (Mega Millions and Powerball): Enthusiasticresponse to Powerball has drawn new attention to the broadlypopular jackpot game category. Continued focus on these gameswill grow playership and sales of these games even further.• Little Lotto: This high-per<strong>for</strong>ming game has the potential to reverseFY2010 sales decline through greater awareness and productenhancement.• Lotto: Sales are being cannibalized by Powerball, which is to beexpected. We propose a plan to review and modify the game inthe context of other jackpot game portfolio activities.• Pick 3 and Pick 4: These are solid, second quartile games with adevoted player base. These regular players should be rewardedthrough regular promotions that give away extra prizes, becausedrawing new players to these games would be more expensive anddifficult than drawing players to other games.• New games: There is room in the portfolio <strong>for</strong> new games thataddress new players and offer new rewards and experiences.Confidential material begins here.3.1.4 – 6 Online and Internet Product Innovation

3.1.5.1Situation AnalysisFrom FY03 to FY09 in the U.S., instant products grew almost 50 percent,slowing to a nearly flat growth rate from FY08 to FY09. As a percentage oftotal business volume, the instant category has grown from 49.9 percent inFY03 to 57.2 percent in FY09. This growth is the result of many factors,including new players, multiple game offerings, payout increases, andmovement into higher price point games, all of which have resulted in ahigher average selling price.Figure 3.1.5 – 1:U.S. <strong>Lottery</strong> Sales by Game, 2003-2009Despite the U.S. economic situation and its impact on consumer spending,lottery sales have continued to grow in many jurisdictions, including <strong>Illinois</strong>.From FY 2004 through FY 2009, <strong>Illinois</strong> experienced a growth pattern inline with the total U.S. market:• Instant ticket sales grew 47.4 percent.• Online and instants combined grew 23.1 percent.As shown in the following figure, <strong>Illinois</strong> is still positioned 19 th in the U.S.with average annual sales per capita of $87 versus average annual sales percapita of $194 <strong>for</strong> the top 10 jurisdictions. In terms of sales mix (instant/totallottery sales), <strong>Illinois</strong> has a lower proportion (54 percent) than otherjurisdictions (U.S. average 60 percent; top 10 average 64 percent).3.1.5 – 2 Instant Product Innovation

3.1.6.1IntroductionTo support our planned growth <strong>for</strong> the <strong>Illinois</strong> <strong>Lottery</strong>’s instant ticketprogram, the <strong>Northstar</strong> <strong>Lottery</strong> Group (the Group) will work closely withits partner, Scientific Games International (SGI) <strong>for</strong> the development andproduction of instant tickets. SGI will also set up and operate the instantticket warehouse, which will be located in the greater Chicago area.SGI will be responsible <strong>for</strong> all aspects of operating the instant ticketprogram, including creating orders <strong>for</strong> each retailer, packing the orders,ensuring their prompt delivery and per<strong>for</strong>ming all associated inventorycontrol activities.This section of the Final Business Plan presents the processes that will befollowed to produce and deliver proven and secure instant ticket games tothe people of <strong>Illinois</strong>.SGI is the leading manufacturer of instant tickets in the world. They areeither the sole or the primary supplier <strong>for</strong> 14 of the 15 largest instant ticketprograms in the world, including the <strong>Illinois</strong> <strong>Lottery</strong>. SGI’ s instant ticketmanagement program (Cooperative Services Program or CSP) administersand manages instant game operations that provide a comprehensive suiteof services <strong>for</strong> more than 200,000 retailer selling points worldwide. Withsales of more than $10 billion in instant tickets in FY09, the company’sCSP customers have experienced dramatically positive results, includingimproved on-time delivery, expedited retail ticket order fulfillment, andthe elimination of ticket inventory shortages. Most important, utilizationof sophisticated and proven CSP processes has helped customers of SGIrealize sales growth that significantly exceeds the overall industry average.3.1.6.2Printing – Game Production MethodologyIn this section, Scientific Games details its state-of-the-art, world-classproduction techniques <strong>for</strong> printing scratch tickets with a focus on thefollowing critical areas:• Game Design: More than 70 game design professionals worldwidewith greater than 700 years of lottery game development experience.• Working Paper Development and Execution: Advanced toolensures error-free Working Papers development.• Game Programming: Highly secure, object-oriented systemsdeveloped since 2000.• Prepress/Production Control: All critical functions managedin-house.• Printing: Eleven high speed presses worldwide of which two(commissioned in 2009) are the newest in the industry.• Packaging: Largest number of high-speed integrated finishing linesin the industry.• Shipping: Logistical and racking systems to speed staging andprovide consistent, on-time delivery of product.Logistics 3.1.6 – 3


Game Design/Working Papers Developmentand ExecutionInstant game development begins with the Regional Director, Karen Harris;Account Executive, Katie Gerst; and Lead Graphic Designer, Anna Rigby.All of SGI’s designers have a solid understanding of all game play actions,game marketing requirements and the value of adding specific printingtechniques and features (e.g., metallic and fluorescent specialty inks) toa game to add to its appeal. In addition, they are completely familiarwith each press and all production security methods and requirements.SGI’s worldwide design team offers nearly 700 combined years of totaldesign experience.SGI’s’ expertly honed game design and Working Papers developmentprocedures outlined below define the creation, revision and schedulingof artwork. The process begins with the creation of concept art, itsdevelopment, revisions, and the procurement of trademarks, quality checksand production approval. This leads to the development of Working Papers,including prize structures, internal reviews and revisions prior to theirrelease and approval of the <strong>Northstar</strong> <strong>Lottery</strong> Group and the <strong>Illinois</strong> <strong>Lottery</strong>.Once revisions are implemented, the Working Papers are executed,scheduled and prepared <strong>for</strong> pre press.The most important adjectives to remember about SGI’s electronicWorking Papers process are:• Flexible: SGI has even more <strong>for</strong>matting flexibility than be<strong>for</strong>e withthe development of the new Working Papers application.• Efficient: SGI’s customer service department provides efficiency,increased accuracy and fast turnaround.• Fast: Working Papers are electronically distributed <strong>for</strong> fasterturnaround and more secure version control.• Accurate: Working Papers are integrated into the marketing<strong>for</strong>ecasting system and the press scheduling system.Our Game Development process is illustrated in the following figure.3.1.6 – 4 Logistics


Confidential material begins here.Confidential material ends here.Game ProgrammingFor 37 years, SGI has continually demonstrated the expert capabilityrequired in the discipline of game programming. In September of lastyear, SGI became the first scratch-off game vendor in the industry tobe assessed and approved by QAS International and thereby becomeISO 27001:2005-certified <strong>for</strong> this critical component in the instant ticketgame development process. This certification applies to SGI’s GameProgramming administration, systems operation and in<strong>for</strong>mation securitymanagement <strong>for</strong> instant ticket game development and operation.The primary technical objective of the Game Programming team at SGI isto develop game software that accurately and securely produces instantticket game data. Historically, this team has supported the <strong>Illinois</strong> <strong>Lottery</strong>in its endeavors to provide new ways to play instant tickets by helping guideconcepts to execution. The procedures below ensure that game relatedproduction software produced by the Game Programming Departmentmeets all requirements <strong>for</strong> game-related data files and reports required byQuality Assurance, Game Review, external auditors, and production.Logistics 3.1.6 – 5


The Game Programming Department consists of three units: GameProgramming, Operations and Game Review. This procedure outlinesthe game development process and applies to how the Game ProgrammingDepartment is involved in both pre- and post-production processes.First, Customer Service initiates a new game by submitting a set of WorkingPapers <strong>for</strong> review. In the Game Programming Department, the review isper<strong>for</strong>med by the Game Review group. The Working Papers are reviewed<strong>for</strong> programmability and auditability. When notification is received that agame has been executed, programming begins.Programming of each game consists of four tasks: Generation, Audit,Conversion, and Validation. The outputs of these tasks are used to produceimager files, reports <strong>for</strong> review, and validation files. Review of each gameis extensive; to achieve approval of a game, various aspects of programmingare reviewed by two separate game review personnel as well as an outsideaudit firm.Pre-press data file production begins after all game-related software isreleased to Operations and approval has been received from Game Review.Once the software is copied to the production system and external auditreports have been produced and approved, the data files are placed on theserver <strong>for</strong> use by the presses.Post-press activities include, at a minimum, preparation of all requiredvalidation reports and data files. The data files are <strong>for</strong>matted and loadedonto the validation system and then audited. Data backup is per<strong>for</strong>med atthe game level, directory level, and system level.PrepressIn prepress, SGI has a multi-disciplinary team consisting of computergraphic artists, font and layout technicians, as well as prepress operatorswho provide rapid execution accompanied by top quality. Concurrent withgame programming, the prepress department converts instant ticketelectronic artwork files into customized digital files, which breaks downeach ink layer of the ticket design. A proof of each layer is printed using adigital proofer. The digital file is reviewed against the ticket artwork in theexecuted Working Papers to verify correct colors. Once the customerapproves the color proofs, the digital files are released to the Platedepartment. The plates are then made and mounted and the game is readyto go to press.PrintingFrom their production of the world’s first instant lottery game ticket in1974 to generating the industry’s highest output of over 30 billion 2" x 4"equivalent tickets from their North American facilities alone <strong>for</strong> 2009, SGI’sexperience is unmatched in the industry. SGI provides customers withaccess to the largest library of instant ticket games, more than 24,000, fromwhich to select and/or build game plans. SGI has four of the most modernpresses in the lottery industry.3.1.6 – 6 Logistics


New presses came online in 2007, 2008, and 2009. SGI has made extensiveinvestments in research and development, game design, prize structuredevelopment, marketing support, ticket and point-of-purchasedistribution, communications network design, lottery managementsystems, validation, fulfillment, and administration.The Printing Process is divided into several steps to ensure the highestlevels of security and product quality. The Pre-Make Ready process, whichis per<strong>for</strong>med while another job is on press, ensures that all materials arestaged and prepared <strong>for</strong> the next step. The Make Ready, Start-up, and Okto Run steps fine-tune press quality and makes certain the product meetsall requirements prior to beginning live ticket production. The Run, Maintainand Deliver Product procedures produce the desired high-quality productwhile keeping waste to a minimum. Finally, the Job Shut Down proceduresclose the current job, prepare the press <strong>for</strong> the next job and the moveprinted rolls to the packaging phase.PackagingThe Packaging Process is divided into the following QC procedures:Initialize Job, Make Ready, Run Product and Rub Check. These proceduresare per<strong>for</strong>med to ensure accuracy, completeness of in<strong>for</strong>mation andpreparedness <strong>for</strong> product delivery.Once printed, rolls of tickets are transferred to the packaging department;they are placed on any one of our 9 high-speed packaging lines, unwound,slit, fan-folded, separated, and manually inspected. The tickets then passover a scanner to verify that all tickets in each book are acceptable; thosethat are not are removed. Acceptable books are then shrink-wrapped,scanned a second time <strong>for</strong> acceptability, and placed into cartons <strong>for</strong>shipment. Cartons are then placed on pallets to be taken to the shippingdepartment.In addition, procedures are followed to ensure that omitted packs arereconciled and separated from the good books and that retailer/non-livesamples are provided if requested <strong>for</strong> marketing.ShippingSGI’s shipping department will be responsible <strong>for</strong> final preparation of eachgame to ensure it is received in good condition and ready <strong>for</strong> distributionto the retail network. Upon arrival in the shipping department, cartonsof ticket books will be permanently labeled with in<strong>for</strong>mation sent fromthe packaging system. These labels identify carton number, game number,game name, valid book numbers within each carton, and any voidedbooks by number. The cartons will be placed upon pallets according tospecifications and loaded into exclusive-use trucks under the supervisionof a security guard. After the shipping manifest is checked by the shippingsupervisor, the doors of the trailer will be sealed by a security officer andwill not be unsealed until it reaches the <strong>Illinois</strong> warehouse.Logistics 3.1.6 – 7

3.1.6.3DistributionThe <strong>Northstar</strong> <strong>Lottery</strong> Group’s distribution strategy ensures thatdistribution of instant tickets is effective, efficient, and secure. The focuswill be on providing superior customer service to <strong>Illinois</strong> <strong>Lottery</strong> retailers.Distribution starts with the creation of orders <strong>for</strong> each retailer and continuesto packing and dispatch from the warehouse. Distribution culminates withthe physical delivery of the orders to each retailer.It is important <strong>for</strong> the contracted courier delivery service personnel torein<strong>for</strong>ce a positive image of the <strong>Lottery</strong>. The distribution-operatingmodel we have planned <strong>for</strong> <strong>Illinois</strong> has provided an exceptionally high levelof customer service to other lotteries and retailers. It will provide thevalue-added benefit of ensuring the highest “in-stock” status of all instantticket games at <strong>Illinois</strong> <strong>Lottery</strong> retailers. This will capture incremental salesinherent with the instant product, and increase revenues <strong>for</strong> the <strong>Lottery</strong>.Our distribution strategy will provide:• The right product, at the right time, to the right retailer – every time.• Technical and logistical flexibility as well as real-time tracking ofticket packs/books in transit.• Field-tested system efficiencies.• Fewer errors, which improves retailer relations and reducesoperating costs.TelemarketingSGI’s telemarketing systems experience began more than 28 years ago atthe Arizona <strong>Lottery</strong>, where the Tel-Sell concept <strong>for</strong> selling instant ticketswas first implemented. Since then, the company has implemented 20 CSPsystems at both new and experienced lotteries. In FY09, lotteries using theSGI telemarketing system generated more than $10 billion in sales. SGIcurrently provides telemarketing services the Arkansas, Delaware, D.C.,Florida, Maryland, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, and Puerto Rico lotteries in theUnited States.Logistics 3.1.6 – 9


Predictive OrderingThe SGI telemarketing system includes an intelligent predictive orderingmodule designed to provide the telemarketing team with enhancedin<strong>for</strong>mation and features to define and shape the most effective productsale recommendations <strong>for</strong> each retailer. The predictive ordering modulewill help diminish over-stock and under-stock situations at <strong>Illinois</strong> <strong>Lottery</strong>retailers.Confidential material begins here.Confidential material ends here.Telemarketing is a function that is intertwined with inventory controland all supply chain functions. Telemarketing will provide a stronghuman relationship between the <strong>Lottery</strong> and its retailers, which enablestechnological innovations to be accepted and implemented; it also buildstrust and cooperation that grows on a daily basis. Greater contact andcommunication means better knowledge of retailer sales trends andcustomer preferences and more precise inventory control to ensure salesat retail. Highly effective sales interaction with the <strong>Lottery</strong>’s retailers isa key component to increasing instant ticket sales, and the new systemwill enable a higher degree of relationship building through easy-to-use,dynamic application screens.3.1.6 – 10 Logistics


The Telemarketing module will provide the telemarketing team withthe tools and technology necessary to increase sales using a proven,browser-based interface. Once an order is placed in the Tel-Sell system, thesystem tracks movement of the instant ticket packs through a matrix of packstatuses designed to control and account <strong>for</strong> the pack from the time ofpackaging until it is removed from sale.Telemarketing plays a major role in the marketing and sales of instantgames. The system will allow the telemarketer to be the friendly voice ofthe <strong>Lottery</strong>. The telemarketing staff will be knowledgeable representativeswho not only shape and recommend instant ticket orders but also updateretailers on other lottery news and in<strong>for</strong>mation. Specifically, thetelemarketer guides the retailer to new products, listens to the retailer’spreferences, and shares order in<strong>for</strong>mation so that the retailer can increasesales of lottery products, quickly and efficiently.ConsumablesThe <strong>Northstar</strong> <strong>Lottery</strong> Group will ensure that all retailers are supplied withthe appropriate lottery consumable supplies (ticket stock and play slips)required <strong>for</strong> the games that they carry and the point of sale equipment intheir stores.Beyond the initial order, GTECH’s Enterprise Series system will track usageof ticket stock and play slips <strong>for</strong> each retailer on a daily basis. The systemwill use this data and the original inventory of each item to determine whena retailer needs additional supplies. The system will automatically generatere-stocking orders each night that will be transferred to the warehouse.Field Service Technicians will carry a small amount of stock with them tofacilitate emergency orders. The Hotline and Telemarketing teams will alsobe able to enter orders <strong>for</strong> consumables when necessary should a retailerneed an emergency shipment. Bulk orders <strong>for</strong> new consumables, such asplay slips <strong>for</strong> new games, will be automatically generated and sent to SGI’swarehouse <strong>for</strong> processing. Once orders are received at the <strong>Illinois</strong>warehouse, they will be picked, packed and shipped to the retailer.TrainingSGI will provide a team of training professionals on-site to per<strong>for</strong>m training.All employees will be trained on how to implement the defined ISO-certifiedprocedures <strong>for</strong> instant ticket services management. Internal audits will beper<strong>for</strong>med every six months to ensure that these ISO-certified proceduresare being followed.The Tel-Sell employees will be provided training in telemarketing bestpractices to support lottery retailers. The ultimate goal will be to enhancethe relationship each Tel-Sell representative has with his or her assignedretailers. The objective is to become the resource center <strong>for</strong> each retailer.The more knowledgeable each representative is about what is selling bestand what the retailer should be carrying, the better the <strong>Illinois</strong> <strong>Lottery</strong>’sand the retailer’s sales and commissions.Logistics 3.1.6 – 11


3.1.6.4WarehousingThe Group, through SGI, will establish a secure warehouse in the greaterChicago area <strong>for</strong> the storage and distribution of instant tickets, online ticketstock, play slips and printed POS items. We will arrange <strong>for</strong> the orderly,secure and precise transfer of all instant tickets and other inventory itemsfrom the existing warehouse to the new warehouse. The warehouse willalso be responsible <strong>for</strong> processing tickets returned to the warehouse andsecurely destroying the remaining inventory when each instant ticket gameis closed and reconciled.Warehouse SecuritySGI views its warehouse and operations sites as an extension of thecompany’s physical plant security. Site security systems are fully monitoredby the company’s security staff. The warehouse facility in <strong>Illinois</strong> (access,surveillance, intrusion and life safety systems) will be monitored remotelyby SGI’s Security Department in Alpharetta. Intrusion, life safety andenvironmental alarms will also be monitored 24/7 by a contracted thirdparty Central Monitoring Station. The goal of the site facility design <strong>for</strong><strong>Illinois</strong> is to create the proper environment <strong>for</strong> work processes and productsthat will Deter, Detect, Delay, Deny, Defeat and Document likely physicalthreats against the operations. The company employs state-of-the-artdigital systems, physical barriers, devices and technologies that arebest-suited to protect business operations and provide a safe, secureworking environment <strong>for</strong> employees.Receiving New Instant Tickets From the FactoryWhen shipments of new instant tickets arrive at the <strong>Illinois</strong> warehouse,they will be off-loaded and staged until the shipment is verified againstthe shipping paperwork. If the shipment includes retailer samples, thesesamples will be moved to a separate, secure area within the warehouse.Once the shipment has been verified, including number of pallets, andchecked <strong>for</strong> damage, the driver will be authorized to leave. The bill of ladingwill be retained and filed by the warehouse manager.Instant Ticket StorageThe receiver will enter ticket shipment details, including game and palletcount, carrier and date, into a receiving log. The pallets will be stored oninventory racks in the warehouse and the physical shipment will be placedinto the bays according to a Lot Map that identifies the warehouse position<strong>for</strong> each pallet of every game. Following the game load process and afterthe game is approved <strong>for</strong> distribution, the inventory will be released to packthe initial orders according to the instant ticket game plan.3.1.6 – 12 Logistics


Pick n’ Pack and Order FulfillmentUtilizing ISO 9001-2000 procedures, SGI’s ticket order packagingmethodology is designed to fill and pack ticket orders <strong>for</strong> the<strong>Northstar</strong> <strong>Lottery</strong> Group with a focus on the highest levels of security,efficiency, integrity and accuracy.SGI continuously examines ways to operate and maintain warehouseand distribution facilities more efficiently through automation. Ourwarehousing, picking and packing processes exemplify our goal to developmore productive solutions using automated technology. SGI has workedwith automation experts to develop an automated order sorter technologyto improve order accuracy, and increase the efficiency and security of pickand pack operations. This new technology has supported the Pennsylvania<strong>Lottery</strong> since August 2007 and the Florida <strong>Lottery</strong> since the beginningof 2009.With an automated technology system, a faster rate of order fulfillmentwill allow more orders to be completed in less time. Other benefits ofthe automated system include more accurate order fulfillment, real-timetracking capability and electronic transfer of data between the instantmanagement system and the sorting station hardware. The benefit to the<strong>Illinois</strong> <strong>Lottery</strong> is a fast, accurate order assembly process with real-timesystem updates.Once packed, orders will be collected <strong>for</strong> transfer to the courier and deliveryto the appropriate retailer.Return Ticket OperationThere will always be situations in which it becomes necessary to collectinstant tickets from some retailers. The most common source of returns isthe collection of unopened packs of tickets at the end of a game. Whennecessary, the sales team will be authorized to collect tickets from retailers.The <strong>Lottery</strong> Sales Representatives (LSRs) will record the return of full andpartial packs (when authorized) using the retailer’s lottery terminal. Thisapproach ensures that all necessary accounting occurs in real time andeliminates the need <strong>for</strong> any manual <strong>for</strong>ms. Returns will be collected atthe regional offices and will be transferred to the central warehouse<strong>for</strong> processing.Packages received at the warehouse with returned partial and full ticketpacks will be logged and staged in a secure receiving area until movedto the returns cage. The packages will remain untouched in the cagedreceiving area until transferred to the returns cage. Access to the returnscage will be restricted by secure badge access. Warehouse personnel willopen all return ticket envelopes/boxes to verify the number of returnedtickets. Verification will be per<strong>for</strong>med by either comparing the physicalamount of returned tickets to the enclosed return ticket invoice, or scanningany ticket in the returned pack to display the returned ticket ranges.Logistics 3.1.6 – 13


Partial Pack ReturnPartial returns will be cataloged by game number and processing date.Assigned warehouse personnel will move boxes/pallets of partial returnsas needed to the secure area in preparation <strong>for</strong> end of game destruction.Full Pack ReturnThe same scanning process as the one described above will be used <strong>for</strong>full packs of returned tickets. Full packs from ended games will be storedwith the partial returns in a secure area in preparation <strong>for</strong> end of gamedestruction. Full packs from active games will be returned to active gamestock status and reissued with a priority over unopened boxes of availablestock in the order fulfillment area. All of the data from the returns processwill be updated to the system <strong>for</strong> real-time status recording.End of Game Reconciliation andSecure Ticket DestructionWhen an instant ticket game is closed, the remaining inventory will becollected from the field and returned to the warehouse. The warehouseteam will process the returns and prepare the remaining inventory <strong>for</strong>reconciliation. The warehouse team will assist the accounting and internalaudit departments with physical reconciliation of the closed games. Oncethe Finance department has reviewed and accepted the reconciliation, thewarehouse will be officially notified that the remaining inventory can bedestroyed.Secure Ticket DestructionSGI’s ISO-certified procedures and systems will provide full control andaudit policies <strong>for</strong> <strong>Illinois</strong> <strong>Lottery</strong> tickets that need to be destroyed. All ticketsto be destroyed will be securely stored in the <strong>Illinois</strong> warehouse pendingshipment to SGI’s Alpharetta facility <strong>for</strong> destruction.The tickets will be loaded into an exclusive use trailer <strong>for</strong> transfer toAlpharetta. Once loaded, the trailer will be locked and sealed. Upon arrivalat the factory, an SGI security officer will verify that the seal number on thetrailer agrees with the seal number on the Bill of Lading <strong>for</strong> the shipment.Under the observation of a security officer, the trailer will be unloaded andthe tickets staged in the shredding room. A security officer will ensure thatall off-loaded material corresponds with the Bill of Lading. The tickets willbe recorded on an ISO procedure <strong>for</strong>m and shredded.Personnel in the shredding room will be assisted whenever possible byon-duty security personnel. The shredder operator will count all bales inthe shredding room at the beginning of their shift as well as the number ofbales the operator produces. Every bale will have a <strong>for</strong>m that displays whoshredded the bale, on which shift it was shredded, and the date the balewas produced. Through these procedures, inventories and reports, a clearaudit trail will be created to ensure full accountability in every step of theticket destruction process.3.1.6 – 14 Logistics

3.1.7.1Situation Analysis and StrategyRetail PenetrationOptimal distribution is a primary driver <strong>for</strong> lottery sales as the bestper<strong>for</strong>ming lotteries typically have the highest retailer penetration rate.Moreover, an optimized and properly sized network is necessary to maintaina large player base, attract the light/lapsed players where they shop, andfoster sustainable growth in a responsible manner.Figure 3.1.7 – 1:As of the end of 2009, the <strong>Illinois</strong> <strong>Lottery</strong>’s retail network had 7,356 retailerlocations, with a per capita retailer penetration level of one retailer per1,755 people in <strong>Illinois</strong>. This per capita retailer penetration level rankedthe <strong>Illinois</strong> <strong>Lottery</strong> in the fourth quartile of U.S. lotteries in this area.The <strong>Northstar</strong> <strong>Lottery</strong> Group’s business plan defines a target ofapproximately 13,000 points of sale, which would equate to one retailer<strong>for</strong> every 1,026 people in <strong>Illinois</strong>, moving the <strong>Illinois</strong> <strong>Lottery</strong> to the firstquartile, among U.S. lotteries retailer penetration, by Year 3 of the plan.<strong>Lottery</strong> Retailers 3.1.7 – 3


Confidential material begins here.Confidential material ends here.Retail Trade Style MixIn addition to retail penetration, another characteristic that the <strong>Northstar</strong><strong>Lottery</strong> Group has considered when developing this business plan is tradestyle mix. Relevant differences exist among U.S. lotteries in terms ofdifferent retail mixes various jurisdictions have adopted. For example:• The New York <strong>Lottery</strong> has high penetration in supermarkets.• Cali<strong>for</strong>nia, Massachusetts, and Michigan are leveraging liquor storesin their network.• Texas and Florida are strongly focused on gas stations.• Washington’s retailer network is mainly based on convenience stores.• In Oregon, with 30 percent of sales coming from Keno, restaurantsand bars are the greatest part of the network there.3.1.7 – 4 <strong>Lottery</strong> Retailers


<strong>Illinois</strong> is strongly focused on “traditional” lottery stores, such asconvenience stores and grocery stores. These retailer locations account <strong>for</strong>approximately 80 percent of total <strong>Illinois</strong> <strong>Lottery</strong> retailers and are currentlythe most productive. Nevertheless there is significant room to betteroptimize the retailer mix in <strong>Illinois</strong>, especially considering:• Convenience stores are facing a decline in consumer visits, ashighlighted in the following figure.Figure 3.1.7 – 2:<strong>Lottery</strong> Retailers 3.1.7 – 5


• Spending in convenience stores and grocery stores representsonly a part of household spending. <strong>Lottery</strong> spending isunder-penetrated in other non-grocery channels, (e.g., drugstores,department stores, and merchandising stores), when compared tothe large share of overall consumer spending they command, asshown in the following figure.Confidential material begins here.Confidential material ends here.3.1.7 – 6 <strong>Lottery</strong> Retailers


• There are specific retailer <strong>for</strong>mats, such as dollar stores, newsstands,and drugstores, currently per<strong>for</strong>ming well in terms of <strong>Lottery</strong> sales.These stores, however, have a low penetration level, illustrated inthe following figure.Figure 3.1.7 – 4:<strong>Lottery</strong> Retailers 3.1.7 – 7

One of the major trends in the U.S. is that consumers’ purchasing habitsare shifting from independent stores to big box corporate chains, suchas Walmart, and discount stores, such as Dollar General.

3.1.8.1Situation AnalysisThe <strong>Illinois</strong> <strong>Lottery</strong> already relies on second-chance drawings as animportant way to extend the winning potential of its <strong>Lottery</strong> games.Second-chance drawings with exciting, large prizes have been part ofthe <strong>Lottery</strong>’s summer promotion activities <strong>for</strong> years and have helpedgenerate media focus on the <strong>Lottery</strong> and drive sales of <strong>Lottery</strong> games.Sixteen state lotteries offer some version of a Loyalty Program. Forthe most part, the program elements are identical. Participation inspecial drawings or second-chance promotions is an important benefitof these programs and offers tangible benefits to players who register withthe <strong>Lottery</strong>.The emergence of Internet-based promotions gives us an importantopportunity to drive brand awareness and sales by making second-chancedrawings and prizes relevant to the Prime Prospect consumer, especiallythe 24-34-year olds who rely heavily on the Internet <strong>for</strong> shopping andentertainment.Unprecedented technological changes are fundamentally changing theway consumers interact with brands and products. As a result, it hasnever been more difficult to motivate your players to be loyal to the <strong>Lottery</strong>brand. Your players and non-players are now accustomed to choose when,where, and how they will engage with your brand, how they want to becommunicated to, and even how you will reward them <strong>for</strong> their relationshipwith you.This has led to the emergence of a powerful new tool in the marketingmix, interactive Internet promotions. These online marketing programs aredesigned to drive measurable and immediate results, and they deliver farmore to lottery players than be<strong>for</strong>e in the <strong>for</strong>m of incentives and rewards.In a 2008 study, Borrell Associates <strong>for</strong>ecasted that spending on interactiveInternet promotions will increase from $8 billion to more than $22 billionby 2012. By 2012, interactive Internet promotions are projected toovershadow spending on both online advertising and search marketing.Borrell <strong>for</strong>ecasts that much of this growth will be powered by online contestsand games.For all of these reasons, second-chance drawings are an important part ofthe Branding and Marketing program we describe in Section 3.1.9 of thisBusiness Plan. It is one feature of a full interactive marketing strategy, whichwill be bundled with our <strong>Lottery</strong> Loyalty Program.The <strong>Northstar</strong> <strong>Lottery</strong> Group will continue to provide second-chancedrawing support of instant ticket games, as Scientific Games does underits current contract. The <strong>Lottery</strong> will have access to Scientific Games’expertise as the Group works to build and enhance the <strong>Lottery</strong> LoyaltyProgram and its second-chance Internet promotions.3.1.8 – 2 Second-Chance Drawings

3.1.9.4AdvertisingAdvertising Budget and Optimal Media MixMarketing and advertising spending is critical <strong>for</strong> positioning products andcommunicating in<strong>for</strong>mation about them to selected customer segments.Appropriate advertising will also make a significant difference in optimizingthe revenue potential of the portfolio of games and events. (Source: Frostand Sullivan, “U.S. Lotteries: Achieving Strong Results in a Weak Economy,”April 2, 2009.)An analysis of LaFleur’s data shows that a strong correlation exists betweenthe <strong>Lottery</strong>’s marketing spending <strong>for</strong> the previous year and sales per capitaacross all U.S. <strong>Lottery</strong> jurisdictions.Confidential material begins here.Confidential material ends here.Branding and Marketing 3.1.9 – 13


There<strong>for</strong>e, in order to increase sales across the State of <strong>Illinois</strong> and generateadditional <strong>Lottery</strong> profits, we will increase the advertising investment.As the following figure shows, revenue growth was evident in North Carolinaand Arizona, the top two states in terms of sales growth in 2009 when thesestates significantly increased their media spending.Figure 3.1.9 – 4:Additionally, advertising in <strong>Illinois</strong> is much more expensive than in moststates, because it is a top-tier media market. Television advertising inChicago, to reach 1,000 consumers in the Designated Market Area (DMA),actually costs nine percent more than in New York City (Source: AverageSQAD, Demo of Adults 21–49, Q4 2009). This highlights the importance ofincreasing per capita spending to ensure adequate generation of mediaimpressions throughout <strong>Illinois</strong>.The impact of media inflation is also an important consideration <strong>for</strong> arrivingat this figure. The media market has rebounded significantly as comparedto 2009, and rates are expected to increase. As summed up in Ad Age,“After <strong>for</strong>king over price increases of 7 percent to 10 percent <strong>for</strong> ad timeon broadcast TV in the recent upfront market, advertisers are likely to blanchat a disquieting fact: They are paying more <strong>for</strong> less.”3.1.9 – 14 Branding and Marketing

We will draw on all of the servicing resourcesthat we currently employ <strong>for</strong> troubleshooting and handling calls to addressyour player service needs. We will add staffing to support calls from thepublic and players. We describe in detail in the following paragraphs thetechnology we employ to achieve this.GTECH’s call center operations balance the call volume transparently acrossthe two call centers in Providence and in Austin. Our Cisco Internet ProtocolContact Center (IPCC) solution, utilizing Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP)technology, routes calls seamlessly across the call centers based upon whichcall center operator can answer the call most expeditiously. In addition, ifone of our call centers becomes inoperable, or even overwhelmed withcalls, calls are automatically distributed to the other call center.The Sum of All Parts — NRC Call Management SystemAt the core of our NRC service is a call management system that providesyour retailers and players with fast and easy access to a call center associate.GTECH built the robust Client Service Management Application (CSMA) toprovide leading-edge capabilities <strong>for</strong> the full life cycle of the case, frominitial input to case closure. Leveraging nearly 30 years of experience andindustry best practices, the system utilizes proven advanced casemanagement, dispatch, and scheduling, including handheld/mobiletechnology functionality. Highlights of the CSMA include:• Our Cisco IPCC solution uses VoIP technology to route retailer andplayer calls seamlessly between the call centers, based upon operatorskill sets and efficiency.• All incoming calls are routed over toll-free lines. We designed, built,and staffed our call centers to eliminate busy signals through a blendof phone lines and an appropriate number of associates to exceedyour call center requirements.• Skills-based call routing is determined by our call center networksystem. Our associates are certified to answer calls <strong>for</strong> multiple andparticular jurisdictions. The system matches the best availableassociate with the appropriate skill set and readiness to the incomingcall. The retailer or player is then routed to that associateautomatically.• In the unlikely event that all operators are busy, a prerecordedmessage is played and the calls are queued, awaiting thenext-available operator with the most appropriate skill set.3.1.10 – 4 Customer Service Center – Player and <strong>Lottery</strong> Retailer


• This distributed system provides redundancy and disaster recoverycapability. In the event one of our centers becomes inoperable, wecan redirect all calls from one location to the other.• We will use service industry best practices <strong>for</strong> <strong>Illinois</strong> <strong>Lottery</strong> retailersand players in our call center and customer service operation.

In short, it provides a statistically reliable method to ensure superior hotlinecoverage <strong>for</strong> your players and retailers.VoIP Cisco Unified Contact Center Enterprise TechnologyGTECH’s client services department strives to provide first-ratecustomer service by fostering a philosophy of continuous improvement.Accomplishing this requires an investment in superior technology anda team that understands how to use technology as a tool to achieveservice excellence.The NRC uses an advanced Internet Protocol (IP) network and Cisco IP callcenter infrastructure. IP-enabled call centers are less constrained bygeographical limitations. They can more easily scale, route, and balancecalls among several locations to minimize average response time. Thisflexibility gives GTECH the edge over other vendors in meeting its lotterycustomers’ demands regarding location of call services, hours of coverage,and high level of response skills. Since the flexible architecture allows usto allocate the work to the best location, quality becomes our main focus.The automated solutions and integrated IP infrastructure bring togetherdata from multiple plat<strong>for</strong>ms. Callers can easily make automatedtransactions and associates can receive immediate access to customerrecords. The per<strong>for</strong>mance of the IP call center infrastructure speaks<strong>for</strong> itself.To gain the most comprehensive managed IP-based call center solution,GTECH partnered with eLoyalty. eLoyalty designed and deployed a solutionthat combines call center voice applications with Internet contactapplications, such as email and service management tools. The deliveredCisco call center plat<strong>for</strong>ms and systems use a highly redundant architecture<strong>for</strong> business continuity and are dedicated to the sole use of GTECH.We have the capability – and flexibility – to scale,route, and balance calls among several locations tominimize average response time.Cisco Unified Contact Center, a suite of Cisco products, translates incomingcalls into IP protocol and routes them through a Cisco VoIP gateway.The Cisco Call <strong>Manager</strong> (CCM) provides <strong>Private</strong> Branch Exchange (PBX)telephony features to process incoming calls, and the Interactive VoiceResponse (IVR) prompts the caller <strong>for</strong> in<strong>for</strong>mation about the call and collectsdata. Calls continue through the Peripheral Gateway (PG) to the CiscoIntelligent Contact <strong>Manager</strong> (ICM), which uses a customer profile databaseto determine how to route calls to the appropriately trained associates inGTECH’s call centers in Austin and Providence. The call routing process isshown in the following figure.Customer Service Center – Player and <strong>Lottery</strong> Retailer 3.1.10 – 7

GNIE Knowledge Management SystemGTECH News In<strong>for</strong>mation and Expertise (GNIE) is a dependable call-centerknowledge-management system that ensures that consistent, accurate, andtimely responses are provided to players and retailers. GNIE provides callcenter associates with immediate access to all the latest in<strong>for</strong>mation aboutgames and equipment.This ensures that the players and retailers get immediate answers:• For players, we achieve quick response to questions.• For retailers, we enable them to keep selling without delay by solvingequipment issues quickly.Call center associates also benefit; with the latest troubleshootingtechniques, they can reduce customer handling time and improvefirst-contact resolution rates.Associates use a variety of prompts, including key words, equipment, issues,and site in<strong>for</strong>mation to answer retailers’ questions and solve their problems.GNIE is designed with intuitive category searches and a “Smart Synopsis”<strong>for</strong> the most relevant articles. For calls that may require action by anotherGTECH or <strong>Northstar</strong> <strong>Lottery</strong> Group department, the transfer will be quickand efficient.The newest version of GNIE allows our associates to provide accuratein<strong>for</strong>mation more quickly, which means players and retailers can spendless time on the phone, and <strong>for</strong> retailers in particular, more timeaccepting wagers.Continual in<strong>for</strong>mation reviews and ongoing editing keep the GNIE materialfresh and accurate. Our own trainers, site personnel, and experienced callcenter associates develop the GNIE content. A recent process improvementto GNIE offers constant Quality Control (QC), including real-time updatesto the knowledge base and emails to associates on the floor.To ensure correct relay of in<strong>for</strong>mation, call center trainers are trainedand experienced in documentation writing and oversee the writing ofthe support material. As trainers prepare <strong>for</strong> classes, they identify neededin<strong>for</strong>mation updates and supply them. Additional updates are oftengenerated during the training classes. In<strong>for</strong>mation updates are alsoprovided by daily feedback from call center associates, the QA team,and site operations/field personnel.Customer Service Center – Player and <strong>Lottery</strong> Retailer 3.1.10 – 9


3.1.10.3Effective Service LevelsCall Center Per<strong>for</strong>mance LevelsAnother example of GTECH’s approach to ensuring the best possibleservice is its real-time queue management process.The NRC utilizes a series of reports that help to maximize operationalefficiencies. GTECH’s Cisco VoIP phone system provides reports <strong>for</strong> eachday’s calls received (call volume), calls answered, percentage of calls thatqueued, average answer time, number/time of abandoned calls,percentage of abandoned calls, average abandon time, average and totalhold time, and a variety of other call management statistics, such as staffing.Periodic statistical summary reports (as approved by the <strong>Lottery</strong>) will beavailable to the <strong>Illinois</strong> <strong>Lottery</strong> upon request or delivered automatically atpredetermined intervals. We will also provide authorized <strong>Lottery</strong> personnelwith access to any of our call center reports so that they may monitor thestatus of call volume and per<strong>for</strong>mance levels.Our Cisco real-time reports allow us to see calls holding in the queue. Inthe following figure, CSMA Real-Time Queue Management, the Queuecolumn indicates no calls are holding.Figure 3.1.10 – 4:CSMA Real-Time Queue ManagementIn the figure following, the Cisco report illustrates two calls holding in theQueue, 1 <strong>for</strong> Florida and 1 <strong>for</strong> Cali<strong>for</strong>nia. The Queue column is updatedevery 15 seconds allowing the Work<strong>for</strong>ce <strong>Manager</strong> and his or her staff torespond immediately to unexpected call volume.3.1.10 – 10 Customer Service Center – Player and <strong>Lottery</strong> Retailer


Figure 3.1.10 – 5:Queue ManagementElectronic wallboards displaying real-time queue volume are mountedthroughout the call center floor. The boards show the number of calls inqueue, the service level <strong>for</strong> the last 30 minutes, the service level <strong>for</strong> theday, the longest call in queue, and the total calls received <strong>for</strong> the day. Thestaff utilizes the wall boards to strategically adjust schedules to make surethat all calls are being answered according to our service level agreementsand respond to the call volume appropriately throughout the day.Figure 3.1.10 – 6:Electronic WallboardsReal-Time Service Level Monitoring:Wallboards depicting service levelby the half allow us to monitorservice levels provided and adjustcall response times in real time tomeet incoming volumes.Customer Service Center – Player and <strong>Lottery</strong> Retailer 3.1.10 – 11


Work<strong>for</strong>ce Management TeamWe have added a new function, the Work<strong>for</strong>ce Management team, toenhance the quality of our services, ensure that we always achieve ourservice levels, and bring a new level of professionalism and experienceto Key Per<strong>for</strong>mance Indicator (KPI) management.The Work<strong>for</strong>ce Management team will focus on balancing associate staffing,managing service level <strong>for</strong>ecasting, participating in scheduling, as well asmaking real-time adjustments to meet changes in service levels by analyzingcall center data and reporting findings to the call center management team.Forecasting – Impact 360As discussed previously, we will use work<strong>for</strong>ce optimization software,Impact 360 (I-360), to <strong>for</strong>ecast call volume and to identify the appropriateresources necessary to handle calls <strong>for</strong> the <strong>Illinois</strong> <strong>Lottery</strong>. In short,I-360 provides a statistically reliable method to ensure superior callcenter coverage <strong>for</strong> retailers. The I-360 method evolved from its initialimplementation in the call center in 2006. Since then, our tools have becomemore sophisticated, but we maintain the same focus: to ensure we haveproper response load-balancing <strong>for</strong> all calls.The software is backed by experienced call center managers and site staff.We can predict call volumes based on many factors, and we know when tooverstaff the predicted volumes as a hedge against the unexpected.Confidential material begins here.3.1.10 – 12 Customer Service Center – Player and <strong>Lottery</strong> Retailer

3.1.13.1IntroductionThe <strong>Northstar</strong> <strong>Lottery</strong> Group (the Group) understands the need to workwith outside vendors to procure certain necessary goods and services, andappreciates the value such goods and services bring to the overall lotteryoperation. GTECH Corporation (GTECH) and Scientific Games International(SGI) operate in an increasingly competitive environment. Each organizationunderstands the importance of procurement, and that the ability toobtain superior goods and services at the best prices affects our abilityto compete in the marketplace. It is a crucial component to successfulongoing operations, as well as competing <strong>for</strong> and winning new businessopportunities. Leveraging its contributing members’ experience in thisarea, the Group has established procurement procedures and guidelinesthat will be followed as the need to procure goods and/or services arises.These procurement procedures incorporate the <strong>Group's</strong> best practices andincorporate the procurement provisions and regulations set <strong>for</strong>th in, andare subject to, the Operating Standards <strong>for</strong> the <strong>Illinois</strong> <strong>Lottery</strong> (OperatingStandards) and Article 7 in the <strong>Private</strong> Management Agreement (PMA).The Group is committed to ensuring that all contracts <strong>for</strong> gamingproducts and services in excess of $50,000 (excluding materials, supplies,equipment and services common the ordinary operation of a corporation)(Major Procurements), will be solicited through the use of a competitiveprocurement process. Our guiding principle <strong>for</strong> procurement will be toenter into strategic vendor relationships that provide the best value tothe State by soliciting open and competitive proposals from responsible,responsive, qualified prospective bidders. The Group is committed tofollowing all established policies and procedures detailed in the OperatingStandards, subject to any exceptions that fall within criteria outlined inSection 2.6.4 (a) of the Operating Standards.The Group may suspend, revoke or refuse to renew any Major ProcurementContract <strong>for</strong> good cause shown and with advance notice to the <strong>Lottery</strong>.When conducting Major Procurements, the Group shall seek to ensurethat the <strong>Lottery</strong>’s best interests are represented and that any resultingcontracts provide the greatest long-term benefit to the State and thebest products and services to the public, at the highest levels of integrityand responsibility. <strong>Northstar</strong> will obtain all required Division approvals,in accordance with the Operating Standards, prior to entering into orexecuting a Major Procurement or a Major Procurement Contract.3.1.13 – 2 Procurement


All Major Procurement Contracts will be in writing and memorialize thecomplete and total agreement between the parties. Major ProcurementContracts shall include the provisions set <strong>for</strong>th in Section 2.6.3 (b) of theOperating Standards. If any amendments, supplements, or modificationsto Major Procurement Contracts become necessary, these will also bein writing and memorialize the complete and total agreement betweenthe parties. The Group acknowledges that it may only enter into suchamendment, supplement, or modification if the <strong>Manager</strong> determines that:the contract amendment is within the original scope of work and within theintent and purpose of the applicable Major Procurement Contract, and/orthe contract amendment is a logical extension of the original scope of workof the applicable Major Procurement Contract, and/or if entered into as astand-alone contract, would not constitute a Major Procurement Contract.Our process is designed to ensure that all parties involved in MajorProcurements participate fairly, honestly, and in good faith. The Group’sProcurement Procedures and Guidelines establish clear criteria andprovisions to be followed when procuring goods or services. Theprocurement process can be described by detailing the process into thefollowing categories: Solicitation Issuance, Evaluation Procedure, Awardand Negotiation.The Group will manage all vendors and subcontractors in the best interestof the <strong>Lottery</strong>, pursuing the following major objectives:• Ensure effectiveness and efficiency of each contract.• Encourage at least twenty percent (20%) of the costs of allSubcontracts and Vendor Contracts entered into after the AgreementEffective Date to be awarded to businesses that are a minority-ownedbusiness, a female-owned business or a business owned by a personwith a disability.• Guarantee smooth operations.• Guarantee satisfaction of lottery retailers and players.Effective management of vendors and subcontractors will be achieved byputting in place best in class procedures <strong>for</strong> the following:• Hosting competitive bidding procedures.• Selecting vendors and subcontractors.• Managing vendors and subcontractors.Procurement 3.1.13 – 3


3.1.13.2BiddingProcurement MethodsFor the purpose of issuing solicitations <strong>for</strong> goods and services, two <strong>for</strong>msof procurement methods may be used, Request <strong>for</strong> <strong>Proposal</strong>s (RFP) andInvitation to Bid (ITB).Request <strong>for</strong> <strong>Proposal</strong>sIf the Group makes the determination that an RFP is the most appropriateprocurement method <strong>for</strong> the particular good or service required, theprocedures <strong>for</strong> issuing an RFP will be followed.An RFP will be drafted using the <strong>Group's</strong> standard template, which isdescribed in more detail later in this section. The Group will compile alist of potential vendors using the following methods: including vendorscurrently providing services to the <strong>Lottery</strong>, vendors known to the Group,vendors listed on the State Business Enterprise Program Vendor Directory(BEP Directory), and vendors listed on the <strong>Illinois</strong> Procurement Bulletin. TheGroup will then publish each RFP via Web link, located on both the Group’sand the <strong>Lottery</strong>’s Website, and will further solicit interest by sending <strong>for</strong>malnotice of the RFP to the documented list of vendors (and, in its discretion,the <strong>Illinois</strong> Procurement Bulletin).Invitation to BidIf the Group makes the determination that an ITB is the most appropriateprocurement method, the procedures <strong>for</strong> issuing an ITB will closely mirrorthose established <strong>for</strong> procurements generally, in that the <strong>Group's</strong> approachto the ITB will promote the same levels of integrity, transparency andfairness as with any other procurement it conducts.The Group will notify vendors of potential opportunities in several ways.It will establish a Web link entitled “Major Procurement Opportunities”where it will publish each open ITB. Where appropriate, the Group will alsomake use of the State's <strong>Illinois</strong> Procurement Bulletin in order to promoteas much awareness about potential subcontracting opportunities aspossible. In addition, the Group will carefully consider vendors that possessthe right amount of experience and skills <strong>for</strong> a particular opportunity andsend a <strong>for</strong>mal notice to those vendors instructing them as to where to findadditional in<strong>for</strong>mation <strong>for</strong> the opportunity.3.1.13 – 4 Procurement


Where it is impractical to prepare initially definitive specifications <strong>for</strong> anyparticular procurement opportunity, the Group may engage in a multi-stepbidding process using the guidelines provided in Section 2.6.5 (b) of theOperating Standards. Using the two-phased technical/price approach,the Group will continue to support the <strong>Lottery</strong>'s objectives <strong>for</strong> a fair andtransparent evaluation process. Bidders will be required to submit separatepricing proposals, which will remain sealed until such time as the Group hasevaluated all technical proposals. A contract will be awarded to the lowestresponsive, responsible bidder.In the event of a tie-bid, the Group will follow the procedure detailed inSection 2.6.5 (b) of the Operating Standards and award such opportunityto a minority-owned, female-owned business or a business owned bypersons with disability (and then, if still a tie, at the Group’s sole andreasonable discretion).Solicitation IssuanceThe Group will use internal subject matter experts and discuss with the<strong>Lottery</strong> to identify prospective vendors with whom we look to conductbusiness. When appropriate, the Group will utilize third-party services toanalyze the marketplace and help identify potential vendors that wouldqualify to respond to the specific opportunity.Relying on best practices that GTECH and SGI have found successful, theGroup will utilize a standardized RFP template that includes standard termsand conditions where applicable. Using the Group’s standard template,each RFP will include, at a minimum, the following elements:• <strong>Illinois</strong> <strong>Lottery</strong> descriptions.• The <strong>Group's</strong> corporate overview.• A detailed scope of work <strong>for</strong> the opportunity. The Groupacknowledges that the scope of work must be sufficient enough indetail to minimize the likelihood of requests <strong>for</strong> clarification.• Minimum vendor requirements, if any (e.g., experience, insurancerequirements, response <strong>for</strong>mat, etc.).• Instructions <strong>for</strong> submitting a sealed cost proposal, which shall beseparate from a bidder's technical proposal.• Contact in<strong>for</strong>mation <strong>for</strong> the person at the Group who is administeringthe procurement.• A schedule of events that specifies deadline requirements and allowsprospective bidders sufficient time to prepare a comprehensiveproposal.• Clear details as to any proposal restrictions, including restrictions oncommunications with the Group and/or the <strong>Lottery</strong>, if any.• A thorough explanation of the evaluation procedure that will beutilized, including evaluation criteria and an evaluation process basedon which the RFP responses will be evaluated.• Invoicing and payment terms.• A declaration of any contract terms and conditions or other legalobligations that the Group will require in any resulting agreement.• Required Service Level Agreements (SLAs) in any resulting contract.Procurement 3.1.13 – 5


In addition, each RFP will be reviewed and approved by the Group prior topublication to ensure that the RFP includes sound business principles, anadequate description of the scope of products and services required, andadherence to the principles of competition prescribed in Section 2.6.2 ofthe Operating Standards.As part of the Major Procurement, the Group shall have the right toamend an RFP in writing at any time (provided that any such addendumor amendment will be issued in accordance with the solicitation issuanceprocedures), cancel an RFP in its entirety, reissue an RFP, and reject any andall proposals.Evaluation Procedure<strong>Proposal</strong>s received by the Group will be evaluated in accordance with thesolicitation criteria described in the RFP and in a manner that reasonablyensures that all proposals are impartially considered and requirementsadequately met. The Group will establish an evaluation committee toparticipate in the evaluation procedure.Prior to reviewing proposals, each evaluation committee member willreview a list of vendors submitting a proposal, and be responsible <strong>for</strong>determining if a potential conflict of interest exists with a potential vendor.Each committee member will sign a statement stating whether or notthe member has a potential conflict of interest.All proposals will be evaluated in accordance with the evaluation criteriaset <strong>for</strong>th in the RFP, which will be designed to select proposals that providethe best overall value, greatest long-term benefit to the state, and thegreatest integrity <strong>for</strong> the Group and the <strong>Lottery</strong>, and the best productsand services <strong>for</strong> the public.The Group’s evaluation procedure may be summarized as follows:• Develop evaluation criteria and an evaluation process based on whichthe RFP responses will be evaluated.• Create an internal committee/cross functional team that will beresponsible <strong>for</strong> reading the proposals, attending vendorpresentations and evaluating the vendor proposals based on theevaluation criteria set <strong>for</strong>th in the RFP.• Send requests <strong>for</strong> clarification to vendors when necessary.• Make a vendor selection.• Notify vendor of award.As part of the Group’s evaluation procedure, all records that reflect theprocess and procurement will be saved by the Procurement Officer inaccordance with the provisions outlined in the Operating Standards <strong>for</strong>the <strong>Lottery</strong>.3.1.13 – 6 Procurement

3.2.1Financial PlanIntroductionIn this section, we quantify the strategy that is articulated throughoutthis proposal. At <strong>Northstar</strong> <strong>Lottery</strong> Group LLC (the Group), we believeour strategy <strong>for</strong> the <strong>Illinois</strong> <strong>Lottery</strong> will unlock the large potential ofthe business, in a responsible manner, and will materially grow thefunds generated by the <strong>Lottery</strong> <strong>for</strong> good causes.The <strong>Northstar</strong> <strong>Lottery</strong> Group’s Business Plan (the Plan) assumesthe execution of fully actionable levers. We have planned majorinitiatives that include the re-launch of the <strong>Lottery</strong> brand, a substantialexpansion and optimization of the retail network, a total technologyand infrastructure upgrade, the enhancement of the online and instantticket game portfolios, and an increase in marketing and advertisinginvestments to effectively engage the <strong>Illinois</strong> consumer.Basis <strong>for</strong> the Preparation of the Plan<strong>Northstar</strong> <strong>Lottery</strong> Group envisions a shorter than anticipatedTransition Phase, allowing the <strong>Lottery</strong> to realize the value andbenefits of the <strong>Private</strong> <strong>Manager</strong> (PM) model sooner.We are able to deliver the fastest and most efficient transition, withthe lowest execution risk, due to:• An early start: <strong>Northstar</strong> <strong>Lottery</strong> Group has been working <strong>for</strong> manymonths on the opportunity to partner with the <strong>Illinois</strong> <strong>Lottery</strong>. Wehave already completed a number of relevant steps, defined theTransition Plan, and identified key managers and contracted withmajor managers, advisors, and subcontractors.• A “bundled” approach: Our partners’ capabilities cover the entire<strong>Lottery</strong> value chain; thus the integrated organization will delivermaximum effectiveness/efficiency from day one.• Extensive knowledge of the <strong>Lottery</strong> and its current processes: Wehave derived critical in<strong>for</strong>mation and understanding from our long,successful relationship with the <strong>Lottery</strong>.Figure 3.2-1 illustrates the Transition Plan schedule, as detailed inSection 3.1.16, Transition Plan:• Preparation <strong>for</strong> Agreement: Execution of all activities, such asnegotiation regarding possible items not fully defined in the PMA,and the administrative and legal preparation <strong>for</strong> executing the<strong>Private</strong> <strong>Manager</strong> Agreement, that must be completed be<strong>for</strong>e theAgreement Effective Date.3.2 – 2 Financial Plan


• <strong>Northstar</strong> <strong>Lottery</strong> Group Start-up: Organizational set-up of<strong>Northstar</strong> <strong>Lottery</strong> Group, including the establishment ofheadquarters, recruitment of the non-<strong>Lottery</strong> personnel (e.g.,additional external sales agents <strong>for</strong> retail network recruitment)and development of management support processes (HR, payroll,technology infrastructures, etc.).• Transition Phase: Preparation <strong>for</strong> the transfer of day-to-daymanagement responsibilities to the <strong>Private</strong> <strong>Manager</strong> of keyoperating processes currently managed by the <strong>Illinois</strong> <strong>Lottery</strong> orby other providers. The <strong>Lottery</strong> will continue to control itssignificant <strong>Lottery</strong>-related business decisions and activities. Thisphase will be preceded by a “Mobilization Phase” between theGovernor’s selection and the Agreement Effective Date.• Ramp-up Phase: The period commencing on the TransitionCompletion Date and terminating on the Base ServicesCommencement Date. During this period, the <strong>Manager</strong> shalloperate the <strong>Lottery</strong> at the State’s expense.Our committed target is to achieve the Transition Completion Dateand begin the Ramp-up Period on February 1, 2011. This acceleratedtransition provides significant value to the State, given that from thatpoint <strong>for</strong>ward we will be able to recruit new retailers, launch theadvertising campaign in support of the reshaping of the brand, andintroduce game portfolio changes identified in the Plan.In developing the Transition Plan, we have made a number ofassumptions with the goal of shortening the overall process, includingthe following:• The Governor will select the Final Offeror on September 15, 2010.• The <strong>Private</strong> <strong>Manager</strong> Agreement will be executed on or be<strong>for</strong>eOctober 15, 2010 1.• During the Transition phase, the <strong>Lottery</strong> will approve the documents itreceives from the <strong>Private</strong> <strong>Manager</strong> within 30 days from their receipt.1 Please refer to Section 3.1.16, Transition Plan <strong>for</strong> a better qualification of this assumption.Financial Plan 3.2 – 3


The following is an illustration of the four major elements of theTransition and Ramp-up Periods leading to commencement ofBase Services on July 1, 2011.Figure 3.2 – 1:We are confident that the extensive operational experience of Groupmembers and the integrated structure of the Group result in thesmoothest, most reliable, and lowest-risk transition to the <strong>Private</strong><strong>Manager</strong> model.3.2 – 4 Financial Plan

Everyef<strong>for</strong>t will be made to manage the <strong>Illinois</strong> <strong>Lottery</strong> in the most efficient,cost-effective manner possible while at the same time ensuring thatwe identify and retain the most highly qualified and experiencedmanagement team.While we have thoroughly considered the level and nature of requiredresources, we remain open to discussing these costs with the <strong>Lottery</strong>.Our estimate of the first year management expenses is summarized inthe following figure.3.2 – 14 Financial Plan
