WINNIPEG, MB, Jan. 6, 2021 /CNW/ - Pollard Banknote
Limited (TSX: PBL) ("Pollard Banknote") congratulates the
Nebraska Lottery on the launch of its Arcade Classics Super
Ticket – the first-ever game featuring Tetris®, GALAGA™,
and PAC-MAN® in a Big Ticket format.
The $10 ticket, measuring a
massive 8" wide x 12" high, is loaded with a variety of playstyles,
offering players maximum play value and the chance to win up to
$100,000. Designed by Pollard
Banknote, the vibrant ticket showcases each game's signature
graphic style while replicating the nostalgic retro arcade
experience in a fun scratch ticket format.
The launch of the Arcade Classics Super Ticket has been
supported by robust marketing strategies, including an exciting
second-chance promotion. By submitting the serial number from a
non-winning ticket to the Lottery's MVP Club, players have the
opportunity to win one of three prize packages including a GALAGA™
pocket player and $200 worth of
Nebraska Lottery scratch tickets and lotto coupons, or the grand
prize of a full-size PAC-MAN® arcade console.
"We are always looking for engaging new games to offer our
players. With the launch of our Arcade Classics Super
Ticket, we have delivered a combination of player-favorite
retro arcade games and a fun, oversized play format, creating a
truly unique scratch ticket experience," said Brian Griesenbrock, Products Manager, Nebraska
Lottery. "We enjoyed collaborating with Pollard Banknote to develop
this ticket. We look forward to expanding our game offerings with
more innovative concepts."
"This is an exciting launch for the Nebraska Lottery and its
players, and we're pleased to be part of it," said
Brad Thompson, Vice President, Sales
& Marketing, Pollard Banknote. "Our portfolio of carefully
selected licensed brands includes some of the most iconic arcade
games of all time. These, coupled with our wide range of innovative
print offerings and robust marketing support, mean we can help our
lottery partners offer their players a truly remarkable instant
ticket play experience."

1993. Since it began operating, the Lottery has produced over

funds. Its proceeds are distributed quarterly in accordance with
