Aristocrat Interactive is taking a major step forward in the U.S. digital lottery space. The company just locked in a six-year deal with the Michigan Lottery to handle its full iLottery offering. With extensions, this Michigan iLottery contract could stretch all the way to 2038.

  • Starting July 2026, Aristocrat Interactive will roll out a full suite of online lottery services in Michigan. The initial term is six years, but there are options for six more single-year extensions. The partnership dates back to 2014, when NeoGames first helped launch Michigan’s iLottery program.

  • Under the new deal, the Michigan Lottery will get access to eInstant and draw-based games developed by NeoGames Studio. Aristocrat’s backend systems—like NeoSphere for account management and NeoDraw for digital draws—are also part of the package. Tools like NeoCube and NeoEngage will support analytics and player engagement.

  • Michigan has been ahead of the curve in the iLottery world, especially with eInstant games. It’s regularly at the top when it comes to digital lottery sales and spend per capita. This deal is meant to help the Lottery keep that edge.

  • “This collaboration is a sign of our commitment to being a leader in the iLottery space,” said Michigan Lottery Commissioner Suzanna Shkreli. She added that the goal is to entertain players while boosting funds for the state’s schools.

  • This marks Aristocrat Interactive’s second back-to-back iLottery win in the U.S. With Michigan on board, the company now serves eight iLottery customers across North America. It’s another sign that Aristocrat is serious about digital lottery growth.

  • Aristocrat Interactive was formed in 2024 when Anaxi joined forces with NeoGames, including Aspire Global, BtoBet, and Pariplay. The company now offers real money gaming solutions across lottery, casino, sports betting, and customer experience.

  • Last year alone, the Michigan Lottery contributed over $1.2 billion to public education. Nearly every dollar spent on tickets goes back into prizes, local vendors, or the state’s School Aid Fund. Since 1972, it’s generated more than $29 billion for schools.
