IWG Renews Lottery Deals with Virginia and New Hampshire for Two More Years
Instant Win Gaming has agreed two-year contract extensions with the Virginia Lottery and the New Hampshire Lottery, continuing digital eInstant game supply deals that began in 2020.
Instant Win Gaming (IWG), a supplier of eInstant games to lotteries belonging to NASPL and the World Lottery Association, has announced two-year contract extensions with the Virginia Lottery and the New Hampshire Lottery, extending partnerships that have run since 2020.

Over the past year, IWG says it has rolled out several features across both state lotteries, including multi-state jackpot products (Mega Money Jackpots in New Hampshire and Super Spin Jackpots in Virginia), a Million Dollar/Power Hour Countdown format offering time-based prize boosts, an optional in-game wagering feature called Vaults Boost, and fast-paying Lightning/Blitz Jackpots.
