In an industry first and as part of this launch, Massachusetts players will be the first to play an eInstant featuring Timberwolf ™, an Aristocrat land-based gaming favorite. This is a great example of how Aristocrat Interactive is combining its iLottery expertise with Aristocrat’s proven land-based brands and tailoring them to each Lottery’s objectives and adding to player engagement.

The MSLC is the leading per capita performing U.S. retail lottery and third worldwide. It will benefit from a suite of integrated technologies provided by Aristocrat Interactive including:

Mark William Bracken, Massachusetts State Lottery Executive Director said, “Today marks an important step forward in modernizing our operations and launching an exciting new iLottery offering that complements our industry-renowned retail program.

“We’re confident that our new iLottery program will elevate our player experience and allow us to further fulfil our mission of maximizing revenue returned to the Commonwealth, with online sales supporting early childhood education and care grants that will benefit families throughout Massachusetts,” he continued.

Dylan Slaney, Aristocrat Interactive Chief Executive Officer, said, “This is a milestone moment for Aristocrat Interactive, and the Massachusetts State Lottery as we deliver the first-ever online lottery offering for Massachusetts players.

“We are proud to be partnering with the Massachusetts State Lottery, who is widely recognized as a global lottery leader.

“Our iLottery solution, together with the broader Aristocrat Interactive ecosystem, creates unparalleled customer value inclusive of a full turnkey iLottery solution, which delivers several key advantages for our customers,” Slaney continued. 

The MSLC awarded its first iLottery contract to Aristocrat Interactive in August last year after a competitive RFP process. Under the contract, Aristocrat Interactive will provide services to the MSLC for five years, with three additional three-year extension opportunities.

Since being awarded the contract, Aristocrat Interactive has had employees on the ground in Massachusetts creating the custom solution that has now been deployed. Aristocrat Interactive has also invested in the region and recently established its iLottery headquarters in Quincy, MA and built a strong team of lottery specialists, including many dedicated to the MSLC iLottery program.

Aristocrat Interactive is the #1 iLottery provider by market share in the U.S.¹ This launch further underscores its position as a trusted partner for regulated jurisdictions seeking innovative, modern, and omnichannel iLottery solutions. It also builds on the company’s expanding North American footprint, which includes Michigan’s transition to a full Aristocrat Interactive turnkey solution this month, a recent one-year anniversary in New Hampshire, and an established presence in Alberta, North Carolina, Virginia, and West Virginia.

By

WUHU, China, Oct. 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Expectations for travel are evolving: vehicles are no longer simply a means of reaching a destination, but travel companions that bring people closer to nature, serving as a “mobile third space.”

JETOUR continues to advance its “Travel+” strategy, integrating technological innovation, product development, and ecosystem building into real travel scenarios. From October 20 to 23, the 2026 JETOUR Global Technology Experience Day, themed “Future Travel Starts Now,” takes place across Wuhu, Anhui and Moganshan, Zhejiang, featuring technology experiences, on-road driving, outdoor living, and conservation activities.

Technological Innovation: Expanding the Possibilities of Travel

Backed by the Group’s expertise in AI, intelligent driving, smart cabins, and AiMOGA Robotics, JETOUR turns cutting-edge technology into experiences users can genuinely feel. The XWD Fully Automatic Intelligent 4WD, with 7+X one-touch modes, tackles mountain roads, gravel, and water crossings, while the GAIA All-Terrain Intelligent Architecture adapts to diverse terrain and C-DM hybrid technology balances performance with efficiency. On October 21, models with these technologies take on mountain-road test drives at Moganshan.

A Diverse Product Lineup: Enriching the Travel Experience

The G700 combines premium comfort with hardcore off-road capability, while the T1 and T2 suit both urban driving and light off-road adventures. Roof tents, onboard refrigerators, and other ecosystem equipment turn the vehicle into an all-round companion. JETOUR also hosts a camping market and a Starry Night Forum, bringing product features into real travel settings.

Ecosystem: Extending the Value of Travel

Travel is about understanding cultures and protecting nature as well as exploration. Participants visit Xiazhu Lake in Zhejiang for a crested ibis conservation initiative. Globally, JETOUR supports cheetah conservation in Africa, turtle conservation in Malaysia, harpy eagle conservation in Panama, and protection of Pakistan’s national animal, the markhor.

JETOUR has also partnered with Chile’s Colo-Colo, FIBA, and the Malaysia Marathon, broadening engagement with local culture, sport, and communities — giving “Travel+” an ever richer meaning.

JETOUR now joins travelers worldwide across city, mountain, and wetland, exploring new possibilities through the deeper integration of technology and travel.
