I. Opening of Meeting

Treasurer Deborah Goldberg opened the Massachusetts State Lottery Commission (“Commission”) meeting at 10:32 a.m.

Treasurer Goldberg stated:

Pursuant to the Commonwealth’s Open Meeting Law, Massachusetts General Laws, Chapter 30A, Section 20, as the Chair of the Massachusetts State Lottery Commission, I would like to advise that any person may make a video or audio recording of this open meeting. However, I am obligated to inform attendees of anyone recording at the beginning of the meeting, so I ask that those who are doing so identify themselves.

Judy Moore, Senior Executive Assistant, Lottery, identified herself as making a recording to assist in the preparation of the meeting minutes. Colin Young, State House News Service, also stated that he would be making such a recording today.

Gregory Polin, Lottery General Counsel, then asked if there were any other attendees who would be making a recording to identify themselves as doing so.

Treasurer Goldberg then made the following statement:

Pursuant to the Massachusetts Open Meeting Law, Massachusetts General Laws, Chapter 30A, section 20, all of the Commissioners will be participating remotely for this meeting because physical attendance is unreasonably difficult.

Normally, the Commissioners are able to participate remotely only when a quorum of the members are physically present at the meeting location, however, the Commission is relying on Governor Baker’s March 12th Executive Order that allows remote participation by all members of a public body and suspends the requirement that a quorum of the body and the chair be physically present at the specified meeting location.

Commissioners, we are all participating by a conference call. Commissioners, please let us know if you have any sort of technical difficulty. The Commissioners may participate in any and all votes scheduled to take place at today’s meeting. All votes must be taken by roll call.

III. Executive Director’s Report a. Sales Update b. Marketing Update

Massachusetts State Lottery Performance 6 Month Comparison

Executive Director Michael Sweeney reported on the sales comparison between the pre- pandemic period of July through December 2019 and the same time a year later during the pandemic.

Executive Director Sweeney explained the trends through the first half of FY21, in comparison to the first half of FY20. The period from July through December 2019, the pre-pandemic period, experienced normal operating circumstances and showed healthy, robust numbers entering into 2020. The pandemic has caused changes in consumer behavior and travel. The Lottery took an enormous hit in Keno sales during the previous six months, particularly because of the closures or limitations on key Lottery venues like restaurants and pubs. Despite the fact that the Lottery saw a 12.4 percent decrease in Keno sales as compared to the same time period in 2019, the Lottery experienced a 2 percent increase in total sales and a projected 4.3 percent increase over through the end of December in net profit as compared to the July through December 2019 period. He credited the team at the Lottery for their determination to make this happen.

Executive Director Sweeney added that the recent excitement and focus surrounding the two large jackpots with Mega Millions and Powerball, which he described as a January 2021 phenomenon, had no impact on these numbers.

Claim Center Managers

Executive Director Sweeney commended the outstanding efforts put forth by the IT unit at the Lottery as well as the warehouse and distribution teams. He specifically acknowledged the leaders within the Lottery claim centers and sales unit. He presented a slide that recognized the following individuals: Michael Lorden, Lottery Assistant Executive Director of Sales; and Lottery Claim Center Managers Sheila Capone-Wulsin (Woburn), Thomas Dougherty (Woburn), Michael Lanava (Springfield and Worcester), Patricia Lyons (Dorchester), Steven Martins (New Bedford) and PJ Vande Rydt (Braintree). He stated that they, along with their teams, have done a phenomenal job in response to the new operational realities and safety standards. He added that the Lottery has been fortunate to have been able to put together a business continuity team to gather best practices and make adjustments. 3

Lottery Sales Update-December

Executive Director Sweeney reported that overall unadjusted sales for December of 2020 were down $20.9 million from December 2019. The estimated December 2020 net profit and prize payout figures do not include accruals for prizes won that have not yet been paid. The estimated net profit for December 2020 was $97.7 million as compared to $89.7 million in December 2019, resulting in an estimated $8.0 million increase in net profit. The estimated prize payout for December 2020 was 69.41 percent as compared to 72.10 percent in December 2019.

Executive Director Sweeney then reported on the estimated FY21 year-to-date net profit and prize payout figures which both include accruals for prizes won that have not yet been paid. The estimated year-to-date net profit for the first six months of FY21 is $531.7 million as compared to $509.5 million for the first six months of FY20. The adjusted year over year change for the first six months of FY21 versus the first six months of FY20, is an estimated $28.1 million increase in net profit. The estimated year-to-date prize payout for the first six months of FY21 is 73.15 percent as compared to 73.72 percent for the first six months of FY20.

Executive Director Sweeney provided a breakdown on the December 2020 sales. The Numbers Game sales were up $2.4 million, Powerball sales were up $1.8 million (high jackpot of $365.3 million as compared to $200 million in December 2019), and Mass Cash sales were up $212,669. Compared to December of 2019, Keno sales were down $13.0 million, Instant Ticket sales were down 10.4 million, Mega Millions sales were down $1.6 million (high jackpot of $376 million as compared to $372 million in December 2019), Megabucks Doubler sales were down $254,749 (high jackpot of $6.81 million as compared to $8.17 million in December 2019), Lucky for Life sales were down $114,062, and All or Nothing sales were down $41,410.

Executive Director Sweeney concluded that overall, factoring in the obstacles and realities related to the pandemic, the last six months have shown strong sales and a historic performance.

Five Year Comparison Chart

Executive Director Sweeney provided a visual representation of a five-year comparison chart showing the highest payout as a percentage of the Lottery’s sales from the last five years. He announced that the prize payout was at 73.2 percent, which is slightly lower from this same time last year but higher than the previous three years.

Gross Sales Results – December Sales

Executive Director Sweeney discussed the Gross Sales Results of November FY21 versus the November FY20 Unadjusted Non-Fiscal Year, as well as the year-to-date results for FY21versus FY20.

Solely examining the December sales from this fiscal year versus FY20, Executive Director Sweeney indicated that a lot of the numbers are shown to be in the red. The Mega Millions sales difference of negative $1.6 million, which is a 15.7 percent decrease as compared to December 2019, can be attributed to the jackpot. Keno continues to be the product, which has been most negatively impacted as a result of the pandemic over the last six months of this fiscal year and was down $13 million in December. Overall, sales were down 4.7 percent from last December.

Massachusetts State Lottery Commission Draft/Unofficial Meeting Minutes for 01/26/2021 Meeting

Reporting on the figures for FY21 sales through December, Executive Director Sweeney announced that sales were keeping up well. Despite significant hurdles, instant ticket sales were up 5.8 percent higher than last fiscal year and generated over $100 million in additional sales. Keno sales were down over $67 million. Executive Director Sweeney stated that overall the Lottery has been performing well with total sales through December showing a 1.9 percent increase from December 2019, with an approximate increase of $50 million in sales. Executive Director Sweeney reiterated that these numbers are not reflective of the large Mega Millions and Powerball jackpots that occurred in January.

Current Lottery Operations

Executive Director Sweeney reported that the current status of Lottery operations remains similar to last month. The Lottery will continue to make changes as needed to maintain a safe environment for both its team members as well as the general public. He expressed gratitude to the Treasurer and the Commission for their leadership, guidance and understanding as the Lottery makes these adjustments. He acknowledged that although there aren’t any perfect solutions, the Lottery strives to do its best during this time and overall, continues to take positive measures.

Security Awareness Accomplishments 2020

Executive Director Sweeney provided an update on the ways in which the Lottery continues to be aggressive in Cyber Security protection and awareness, which he described as a continuous battle. Although the Lottery has made significant progress in the last three years, the dynamics of cyber security change on an hourly basis. He extended his gratitude for the additional funding from the prior bond authorization as well as additional funds that may be forth coming next year.

Executive Director Sweeney announced that the Lottery has formalized a security awareness training requirement for all new Massachusetts State Lottery employees within the first thirty days of employment. In addition, the Lottery has implemented a security awareness training and reporting through an online platform, which has been used to create, administer and track a custom COVID 19 Safety training module for all MSLC employees.

Additionally, the Lottery has made significant progress in the area of personally identifiable information (PII) and how the information is processed to ensure it is secure. Over the last twelve to sixteen months, training has been ongoing, particularly for front line employees who are privy to information from both Lottery customers and retail agents as they set up their licenses.

The Lottery intends to remain on this path as aggressively as possible and take advice from the Executive Office of Public Safety and Security (EOPSS) and other outside agencies, both public and private. At minimum, semi-annual security training will be given to all employees. He pointed out campaigns that will be offered on a quarterly basis in specific areas, such as, recognizing attempts that breach security as well as how to report them. This is all being done on a variety of platforms such as emails, newsletters and educational programs with Michael Eagan, Assistant Executive Director of Cyber Security, playing an instrumental role in leading these efforts.

Massachusetts State Lottery Commission Draft/Unofficial Meeting Minutes for 01/26/2021 Meeting

Mass. Top Ten in 2020 Outbound Migration By Matt Murphy, State House News, January 7, 2021

Executive Director Sweeney reported on a current news item that pertains to the changing landscape of Massachusetts and how it has had an impact on the Lottery. The article, which appeared in the State House News in early January, reported on the outbound population that is leaving Massachusetts. This would include retirees who are looking for a change of lifestyle or other work opportunities. Unfortunately, Massachusetts is a state that ranks eighth in the country for the greatest percentage of its population leaving. Also noteworthy is that the border state Connecticut is also among the top ten and is a state that the Massachusetts Lottery receives additional business from as customers.

United Van Lines reported that 56.6 percent of its Massachusetts business was from customers leaving the state, while 43.4 percent of moves were people and family relocating primarily for work or family. Of those leaving Massachusetts, 35.2 percent of United customers surveyed said it was because of work and 24.2 percent said they were leaving to retire or for family. Another nearly 20 percent said they left for a change in lifestyle. Executive Director Sweeney suspected that a significant portion of the 35.2 percent, those who are leaving Massachusetts, are likely going to switch to remote work which will impact Lottery sales. For example, those who live in New Hampshire and travel on a weekly basis into various parts of Massachusetts and who often stop for purchases will no longer do that because of the shift to remote work being seen by all types of industries.

Social Media

The Lottery continues in its social media efforts to connect with players and Executive Director Sweeney shared the creative ways in which the Lottery uses social media to engage, educate, and entertain customers and communities during the Coronavirus outbreak.

With the heightened jackpots during the month of January, the Lottery ramped up its efforts in raising awareness on responsible gambling as well as being cognizant in following public health guidelines. This was done by utilizing a variety of social media platforms, including Facebook. Christian Teja, Lottery Assistant Executive Director of Communications, conducted a number of interviews to call attention to these two issues as well as emphasizing the enormous odds of hitting a jackpot.

Executive Director Sweeney highlighted the Lottery’s relationship with the Boston Celtics’ Heroes Among Us ceremony which was promoted on Twitter. Additionally, he acknowledged a recent marketing effort using Instagram which recognized retail agents as well as the games.

Holiday Responsible Gambling Awareness Campaign

Executive Director Sweeney reported on the Lottery’s Holiday Responsible Gambling Awareness Campaign. He referred to the positive relationship that the Lottery has with the Massachusetts Department of Public Health’s Office of Problem Gambling Services. He extended his appreciation to the Lottery’s marketing team, as the Lottery was able to provide the DPH with radio inventory (approximately 700 spots) valued at an estimated $87,000 during the holiday season. The spots were aired on stations across the Commonwealth, raising awareness of the risks of youth and gambling. 6

IV. Massachusetts Department of Public Health’s Office of Problem Gambling Services Update

Executive Director Sweeney introduced two members from the Massachusetts Department of Public Health’s Office of Problem Gambling Services ̶ Director Victor Ortiz and Deputy Director Lorena Lama.

Director Ortiz expressed his appreciation on behalf of the Department of Public Health (“DPH”) for the successful collaboration with the Massachusetts State Lottery. He acknowledged Deputy Director Lorena Lama as the driving force and coordinator of the campaign in spreading awareness that lottery tickets are not a suitable holiday gift for children. Director Ortiz stated that his responsibilities include leading the Office of Problem Gambling Services at the DPH for problem gambling in the Commonwealth. He highlighted that the DPH’s vision and mission is centered on the belief that everyone has the right to optimal health and well-being and he explained the ways that the DPH accomplished a drive towards their mission by three different strategies.

The first strategy involves looking at critical data, which he described as the compass that serves as the guide around public health matters. The second strategy focuses on the social determinants of the needs and the conditions of where people are born, grow and live. He added that this is also the area that sees the greatest inequities and the number one driver to help the outcome. The final strategy focuses on eradicating health disparities. The Office of Problem Gambling Services is operating under a comprehensive platform, which it is familiar to those who work in public health. Director Ortiz added that it is unprecedented in the field of problem gambling to use such a platform. He explained that historically, the field of problem gambling has been disconnected from the community experience of gambling and communities of color. The DPH is charting a brand new, unique path forward in Massachusetts which he acknowledged was very exciting but at the same time, a lot of work. He recognized that in order to accomplish these goals, it takes a mammoth amount of collaboration. In this collaboration, Director Ortiz expressed his gratitude to Executive Director Sweeney for not only creating access to an engagement around the issue of problem gambling, but in also being an active participant in the context of focusing on the topic that pushes focus on those who are disproportionately impacted. This includes veterans, youths, adults and people of color. He added that the Lottery has been continually present in helping the DPH to do better, and to do more, and the logistics of this campaign are the fruit of the labor of the work that is being done.

Director Ortiz reported that the campaign specifically focused on providing and creating awareness around Lottery tickets and young people. He provided visuals explaining that with the partnership of the Lottery and the DPH, the campaign ran for two weeks and leveraged the assets of both sides that drove the success of the campaign. The DPH engaged over 1,200 individuals at the community level with over forty community partners who played a major role in getting the word out.

Director Ortiz reported on the outcome of this campaign. In a two-week period, there were close to 800,000 impressions with an overall Click Through Rate (CTR) of 1.06% through social media. The significance of this number is that the benchmark for a campaign is around 0.06 percent. Much of this is centered on the fact that when work is done in collaboration, good things happen and greater things get done. These numbers demonstrate the strength of that collaboration. In examining the gender data, the female demographic delivered the strongest CTR and engagements. The 65+ age segment drove highest engagements and the strongest CTR. Not only did the campaign focus and attract adults in regards to targeting and aiming for youth, but this also

Massachusetts State Lottery Commission Draft/Unofficial Meeting Minutes for 01/26/2021 Meeting

engaged older adults. Director Ortiz considered this a win for everyone and overall, a successful campaign.

There was a lot that was learned through the process that will make it better for future years. He added that one of the strengths of this campaign and partnership was that simultaneously, the DPH also launched a youth and parent campaign and utilized this campaign as a supplemental, complimentary piece to the overall campaign.

Director Ortiz addressed the data and the mode in which people accessed the campaign and stated that 88 percent of those who accessed the campaign was through a mobile device. This was expected given modern technology and what is seen in other campaigns.

In closing, Director Ortiz expressed his thanks to the Lottery for its partnership, collective effort and ensuring that it is critical to think clearly of how to get together to mitigate harm associated with gambling. The DPH is excited about the possibilities and the future plans for other activities.

He emphasized that the Legacy IBM COBOL system is in the process of being dismantled to make way for a variety of new platforms based upon being the most secure, cost effective, convenient, and expandable for Lottery operations. Executed Director Sweeney noted that the IBM COBOL system is over twenty years old. Executed Director Sweeney also noted the Lottery’s remote ticket cashing app.

Executive Director Sweeney spoke about the continuing rapid change in technology and the shift from desktop platforms to mobile devices. On this front, the Lottery continues to catch up and modernize wherever possible and shift wherever appropriate onto cloud based services and develop more apps. The Lottery has made a lot of progress but there’s still a lot to be done. He added that the main difference between this vote and the vote that follows is that the following vote mainly revolves around the issue of cyber security and how it is being approached as an organization.

Commissioner William McNamara asked if the $4.2 million was entirely for consulting services as opposed to the vote that follows where the requested funds are for software and tools.

Executive Director Sweeney understood that to be the case and asked Didier Bertola, Lottery Chief Financial Officer, who confirmed this statement.

Regarding the $4.2 million, Commissioner William McNamara stated that under this label, the consultants can be advising on how to do things or they can actually doing those things as an integral part of executing the change and management of the project. He then asked Executive Director Sweeney if he could describe the end result and deliverable of the $4.2 million. Executive Director Sweeney agreed with the statement and explained that it was a combination of both. Using Gartner, Inc. as an example, he specified that on occasion, Gartner, Inc. has formally and informally conducted an outside review of some of the system projects and has offered advice and consulting. This is necessary in keeping the Lottery on the right path and to make sure that what is being contemplated is making sense functionally and financially. In addition, there is a lot of hands-on work including the involvement of the actual development of apps and software such as the remote

Massachusetts State Lottery Commission Draft/Unofficial Meeting Minutes for 01/26/2021 Meeting ticket app. Additionally, an important piece of this is to determine the best way to dismantle the IBM system, which Executive Director Sweeney described as a very complicated and delicate process.

Executive Director Sweeney stated that the consultants serve in a variety of roles, some of which is hands-on. The Lottery team is involved in weekly meetings with an IT unit group who interact directly with key Lottery personnel and review each and every project. Thomas Cream, Assistant Executive Director of IT at the Lottery, validated Executive Director Sweeney’s statements and added that project management is key and that the existing systems and the Legacy systems are like balls of string with a lot of complexity. Chief Financial Officer Bertola agreed and added that this process uses modern technology to make the process more efficient and enables what has been done for decades into a more streamlined process.

Executive Director Sweeney said that one of the problems being faced is the budget and it would be desirable to have the resources and ability to bring on a significant number of IT trained people full-time but the nature of the business is that the salaries that are commanded as well as the ongoing training that is necessary makes it nearly impossible for a state agency to have on, as full time, the full array of individuals that would be needed to perform the full complement of IT related matters that are necessary in today’s world.

Commissioner McNamara agreed with the details described and added that the return on IT Consultants can vary from fabulous as it prevents mistakes and costly rework but cautioned that it could also be vapor and he believed it was clear that Executive Director Sweeney and the Lottery are managing this process actively. He stated that some elements are renting capacity and expertise that is not available full-time and that every organization would benefit from this type of practice. Commissioner McNamara also noted that even for organizations where it is appropriate to bring on such expertise full-time, some of that expertise has a shelf life and when you are renting it, you are avoiding the issue of having an expertise that is outdated.

In conclusion, Commissioner McNamara was confident that this process has been well thought out and is being properly practiced. Executive Director Sweeney assured the Commission that every issue faced, is drilled down and examined to ensure efficiencies, accountability, projects are staying on track, and efforts are keeping true to the mission to be successful in making improvements.

He added that there is still a long and continuous way to go but assured the Commission that significant progress is being made.

RE: RFR Lot No. 1705 – Instant Tickets, Game Designs and Marketing Services

On June 23, 2020, the Commission voted to approve a maximum obligation of five million, one hundred thousand dollars ($5,100,000.00) for the purchase of instant tickets, game designs and marketing services during the remaining period of the Commission’s contracts, which were entered into pursuant to a competitive bid process (RFR LOT # 1705) and which expire on October 4, 2020. Subsequently, on August 25, 2020, in accordance with a competitive bid process (RFR Lot # 2101), the Commission voted to authorize the Executive Director to enter into three (3) separate five (5) year contracts, each with two (2) one (1) year extension options, with IGT Global Solutions Corporation, Pollard Banknote, Ltd. and Scientific Games International, Inc. The maximum obligation for the five-year period was set at eighty-five million dollars ($85,000,000.00).

Then on September 29, 2020, the Commission voted to increase the aggregate maximum obligation to develop, produce, and market instant tickets with the above-mentioned vendors by eight million, nine hundred thousand dollars ($8,900,000.00) for a total aggregate maximum obligation of fourteen million dollars ($14,000,000.00) for these services for Fiscal Year 2021.

We once again approach the Commission to request an additional four million dollars ($4,000,000.00) to be spent to develop, produce, and market instant tickets with the above-mentioned vendors. This would bring the total maximum obligation for FY 21 to eighteen million dollars ($18,000,000.00.)

Re: Remote Ticket Cashing System Readiness Assessment

It is requested that the Massachusetts State Lottery Commission (MSLC) authorize the Executive Director to enter into a contract with Guidehouse LLP of Falls Church, VA to conduct a production readiness assessment of the MSLC’s Remote Ticket Cashing (RTC) application before the official launch, slated for Spring of 2021.

This purchase results from the MSLC’s Request for Quotes (RFQ) LOT # 2110 – RTC System Readiness, which utilized Massachusetts State Contract ITS74ProjServ – IT Project Services. Only pre-qualified vendors on ITS74ProjServ were permitted to submit quotes for the requested services.

The comprehensive assessment will verify that all components of the remote ticket cashing system meet industry cyber, financial, cloud, data, and mobile app security standards as well as operates cohesively and as designed. The evaluation will also verify the system does not perform any unintended tasks and is both secure and reliable in its functionality. It is of utmost importance to ensure that this application is secure and adheres to all necessary rules, regulations, and policies as applicable. A final report will be provided and used as a tool to support current and future decisions for remediation and enhancements within the RTC application.

The RFQ for the Remote Ticket Cashing System Readiness Assessment was issued and posted on the State’s Procurement System, COMMBUYS to ITS74ProjServ vendors at the end of January 2021. Responses were due on February 10, 2020 by 3:00 P.M. The MSLC received one (1) response by the required deadline from Guidehouse LLP.

The Procurement Management Team (PMT) convened to collectively evaluate the business and technical response. After careful review of the proposal, supporting bid documents, and cost table, the PMT determined the submission by Guidehouse LLP sufficiently met all necessary specifications and requirements as described in RFQ 2110. The PMT is confident the demonstrated experience and qualified staff possessed by Guidehouse LLP will ensure an effective assessment and achieve the overall business and technical goals of the procurement.

It is requested the Executive Director be authorized to contract with Guidehouse LLP to procure services under Massachusetts State Contract ITS74ProjServ and as described in RFQ LOT# 2110 for RTC System Readiness Assessment - COMMBUYS Bid Number: BD-21-1062-LOT-LOTDO-57814.

Ref: Vehicle Purchases – Fiscal Year 2021

For purposes of maintaining a safe and efficient fleet of vehicles, it is requested that the Massachusetts State Lottery Commission (“MSLC”) authorize an expenditure not to exceed three hundred ten thousand dollars ($310,000.00) to purchase approximately 12 vehicles under State Contract VEH98. The Lottery anticipates that it will purchase 12 Nissan Rogue vehicles, which is the same model that the Lottery has purchased the previous four fiscal years. Justification for this purchase is as follows:

• The Lottery operates a fleet of approximately 161 vehicles to maintain operations and service our sales environment, which consists of over 7,700 agents. • These vehicles will replace vehicles that are in the fleet currently and have at least 110,000 miles. • The vehicles are used by Sales, Marketing and Service Repair staff to call on agents daily throughout the state to book orders of Instant Tickets, order on-line supplies, repair broken betting terminals, repair network equipment and distribute POS material. Vehicles selected will be used in all these departments, allow for excellent fuel efficiency, and provide safety and reliability while on the road. • We have received very positive reviews on these vehicles.

Accordingly, it is my recommendation that the MSLC authorize the Lottery to purchase vehicles under State Contract VEH98 with a total cost not to exceed three hundred ten thousand dollars ($310,000.00) during fiscal year 2021.

VOTE: For the reasons set forth in the attached memorandum dated February 4, 2021, the Executive Director is authorized to encumber and expend up to two hundred thirty-five thousand dollars ($235,000.00) in Fiscal Year 2021 for vehicle maintenance management services and other services from the following vendor pursuant to Statewide Contract VEH84A:
