The Lottery has seen many changes in the last 10 years, and so have its retailers. A significant change for many was the upgrade from ZipCash to OmniLink. By July 1999 all scratch-only retailers using ZipCash were upgraded to the new OmniLink terminal. Today approximately 1300 retailers use the OmniLink to sell and validate lottery tickets. Product line is not the only benefit the updated technology provides.
Retailers have the ability to run on-line promotions by chain or region.
Lottery and AWI officials continue to look toward the future, making improvements and creating new products.
