Egamingmonitor Lauds Eurodreams Lottery Launch
Analysis from global data provider highlights strong start of new multistate lottery
Egamingmonitor (EGM), a leading provider of gaming industry data, has analysed the performance of Eurodreams, the latest multistate lottery to launch in the industry.
The analysis has been completed using EGM’s proprietary Lottery Data Product, launched at the start of 2024, which looks at over 100 state and national lotteries and delivers comprehensive reporting data, insight and overviews of the global lottery industry.
The lottery, which debuted across Euromillions countries in November is a ‘cash for life’ product where a fixed jackpot of €20,000 per month for 30 years can be won twice a week. Boasting shorter odds than its two United States ‘cash for life’ equivalents, the Eurodreams product does not offer a shared jackpot, unlike other multistate ‘’cash for life’ draws, and EGM expects it lottery to yield more winners per year too than similar draws globally.
In comparison to other ‘cash for life’ products across the world, Eurodreams has seen a better sales ratio versus the main multistate draw products of 25%; almost 5% more than closest competitor, Set for Life. In the first few weeks, the average ticket sales were approximately 1/3 the amount of Euromillions lottery tickets sold, a trend that carried across Europe.
The product has been particularly well received in France with the nation responsible for approximately 40% of all Eurodreams ticket sales each month. This was assisted by the very first two winners coming from France, ensuring that there was an immediate lift in both the country and across the continent.
On a per capita basis, comparatively smaller countries such as Portugal and Switzerland are the biggest spenders on the lottery product, mirroring the affinity in those nations for the Euromillions draw itself.
“The Eurodreams has had an excellent launch with a higher ratio of sales to rolling multistate jackpot draws than in other regions,” the Chief Executive Officer for EGM, Kevin Dale, said. “On current run rates, it could well hit €1 billion of sales, taking it comfortably into pole position in terms of global sales of ‘cash for life’-type products.
“As a product genre, the fixed jackpot element of these draws benefits the operators in that it allows for predictable sales as opposed to the highs and lows of some of the larger multistate jackpots. In turn, charity or state receipts are also more stable as a result, creating a more cohesive ecosystem for lottery providers.”

Scientific Games Off to Epic Start With Launch of First GAME OF THRONES Lottery Scratch-off Game in the U.S.
Colorado Lottery Winners Will Be Lucky Participants in THE SEVEN KINGDOMS EXPERIENCE Set to Take Place in Napa.
Scientific Games’ newest multi-state branded GAME OF THRONES Linked Games, developed in partnership with Warner Bros. Discovery Global Themed Entertainment, has kicked off successfully with GAME OF THRONES branded instant scratch, Fast Play and iLottery games offering players the chance to win prizes instantly, plus an opportunity to win an experiential prize package, THE SEVEN KINGDOMS EXPERIENCE.
Inspired by one of the most-watched HBO television series of all time and set to captivate the GAME OF THRONES fandom, THE SEVEN KINGDOMS EXPERIENCE event will take place in a medieval-style castle winery in Napa Valley, California in 2025. Trip winners will be divided into seven “Houses”, such as House Targaryen, House Stark and House Lannister.
The event will include multiple rounds of brand-immersive games, giving trip winners a second chance to win their share of up to $7 million. The trip winners will get to cheer on their own “Champion” in a live jousting tournament, and one “Ruler” will be chosen from each house to play for prize money split amongst every member of the house.
The Colorado Lottery is the first U.S. lottery to launch a GAME OF THRONES-themed lottery Linked Game to give players in the state an opportunity to win the once-in-a-lifetime experience. The game achieved the highest first-week index of any of the Lottery’s $10 games launched in fiscal year 2024. It continues to lead, with four-week sales surpassing all other Colorado Lottery $10 games in fiscal year 2024 and most games in other price points, placing third behind a $20 and $50 game. THE SEVEN KINGDOMS EXPERIENCE has limited availability remaining for North American lottery participation, with most of the current trip winner spots filled.
Tom Seaver, Director of the Colorado Lottery, said, “Our players are very excited to play the GAME OF THRONES scratch game. It’s been a great addition to our game lineup, and as the sales numbers show, it is performing really well for us.”
According to Scientific Games research, the GAME OF THRONES brand resonates especially well with younger adult players.
Tina Hoover, V.P. of Licensing for Scientific Games, said, “Our teams are continually innovating to make every lottery winners’ event unique and exciting. We worked with Warner Bros. Discovery Global Themed Entertainment to create an immersive GAME OF THRONES-themed winners experience and to deliver a top-notch winners’ event that we’ve refined over the past 17 years doing prize trips for more than 5,000 lottery players. Based on the response we have received and participation so far for THE SEVEN KINGDOMS EXPERIENCE, we are looking into a potential second trip opportunity.”
Scientific Games pioneered the lottery Linked Games concept in 2007 and games produced by the company offering the opportunity to win experiential prizes themed to brands like DEAL OR NO DEAL, MONOPOLY, THE PRICE IS RIGHT and WILLY WONKA represent more than USD$4.6 billion in retail sales to date.
With a portfolio representing more than 100 licensed brands, Scientific Games provides retail and digital games, technology, analytics and services to 150 lotteries in 50 countries worldwide.
