RIESTER helps the Arizona Lottery lead the nation in sales growth.

I am happy to share the results of RIESTER’s efforts in assisting the Arizona Lottery in growing its sales. Lottery sales are up an impressive 14.4% so far this fiscal year.

This is incredible, especially considering that nearly all other lotteries in the nation have suffered sales losses due to the recession. Meanwhile the Arizona Lottery is having a year of banner sales growth.

Increased Lottery sales are bringing in an extra $57.6 million dollars to the Arizona Treasury this year. U.S. states are facing the worst budget shortfalls since the Great Depression. A well run and well marketed state lottery is a benefit to any state—especially during tough times.

Note: The Lottery’s fiscal year is July to June. These numbers compare sales from July 2008 through April of 2009 versus the same months in 2009-2010.

The Arizona Lottery’s launch of Mega Millions was not only successful, it was a lot of fun. Now RIESTER is set to keep the momentum going with a series of statewide events and an advertising campaign that shows how Powerball and Mega Millions are living happily ever after in Arizona.

Mega Millions is a new multi-state game being offered by the Arizona Lottery. Tickets go on sale at 4 a.m. Sunday, April 18, 2010.

The public can meet the “Powerball” and “Mega Millions” characters and follow their stories at arizonalottery.com or on the Arizona Lottery Facebook Fan page at facebook.com/arizonalottery.

RIESTER’s new campaign for the Arizona Lottery is sure to continue to fuel record-setting sales.

The Arizona Lottery has experienced a 22 percent sales increase over the past five years, the time span that RIESTER has had the account, while sales growth for the other 43 state lotteries averaged only 10 percent. The Arizona Lottery ranked second in the nation for sales growth in 2009.

Last month was the largest sales month in the entire history of the Arizona Lottery.

New Arizona Lottery campaign embraces the state’s growing number of Latino Lottery players.

Working closely with the Arizona Lottery Marketing Team, RIESTER has just launched a brand new Latino-focused campaign to promote The Pick, Arizona’s very own draw game. One component of this campaign is “Wednesdays,” a :30 commercial that celebrates the anticipation of playing The Pick twice a week. This cost-effective commercial was produced with a local production company and features Arizona talent.
