Diamond Game and the Missouri Lottery first entered into an agreement for these dispensers in 2013 as part of a one-year pilot program. Since then, Diamond Game has served as the sole supplier for the Lottery’s Pull-Tabs program, having been awarded additional contracts and all available extensions.
“We’re pleased to be signing a new contract with Diamond Game and continuing to support our retailers,” said Lester Elder, Director, Missouri Lottery. “Missouri’s fraternal organizations have benefited tremendously since the Pull-Tabs program launched, and we’re delighted to keep supporting their efforts.”
“We’re excited to be extending our decade-long relationship with the Missouri Lottery, and we look forward to working with its team to advance its goals,” said Bill Breslo, President, Diamond Game. “We’re proud that our product supports education in Missouri and bolsters the positive contributions veteran and fraternal non-profit retailers make in their communities.”
Established in 1986, the Missouri Lottery has contributed more than $7.5 billion to the state of Missouri and public education. Yearly Lottery contributions comprise approximately four percent of the state’s public education funding, a responsibility shared by local, state, and federal governments.
