Pollard Banknote has signed a five-year extension to continue providing its services to multiple Canadian lottery corporations.

The company has extended its Instant Ticket Printing Services Agreement with the Interprovincial Lottery Corporation (ILC), ensuring that it will continue to provide instant tickets, game design, and related services through December 31, 2028. The contract has an option to renew for an additional five years.

The ILC is a nationwide lottery organization with five members: the Atlantic Lottery Corporation, Loto-Québec, the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG), the Western Canada Lottery Corporation (WCLC) and the British Columbia Lottery Corporation (BCLC).

Pollard Banknote and the ILC have worked together for the past 35 years to deliver regional-specific strategies and top-selling national games to players across all 10 provinces and three territories. Pollard Banknote and ILC recently launched the latest iteration of its Jackpot family of games as the lotteries continue to bolster their digital operations.

“We look forward to continuing our strong partnership with Pollard Banknote,” said ILC Director of National Games, Sarah Price. “Their expertise and experience in the industry has allowed us to bring exciting new concepts and instant games to the Canadian market. The contract extension will allow us to continue to deliver innovative and creative games that players love and that will generate revenue for the vital programs the lotteries support throughout Canada and their respective provinces.”

“Pollard Banknote is thrilled to have the opportunity to extend our partnership with the ILC,” said Brad Thompson, VP of sales and marketing at Pollard Banknote. “We are excited to continue providing innovative products that stand out at retail and extend the play experience into the digital landscape, with the ultimate goal of maximizing revenue for good causes across Canada.”

As well as every Canadian lottery corporation, Pollard Banknote is a partner of more than 60 lotteries worldwide. It not only provides instant ticket products and games but also a full suite of digital offerings including player engagement solutions and strategic marketing and management services.
