The Big Picture: Sometimes things don’t happen for decades, and sometimes decades happen in weeks. The world is changing at warp-speed. Following the pandemic, how do we think consumer behaviors will change and how will that impact the lottery industry … Are we prepared to optimize on the opportunities and navigate the challenges? How will big-picture macro-economic/sociological/ cultural changes filter down to reshape specific industries … like retail, recreational gaming, and Lottery? How might consumer lifestyles and player behaviour be permanently changed as a result of the pandemic? And how have operational changes necessitated by the pandemic revealed new and better solutions, best-practices, and ways to operate that will continue on into the future?
