Key Findings & Recommendations

Key Findings & Recommendations

Key Findings (1) – The Scratch Ticket Launches & Advertising Awareness Ø Ad awareness

Key Findings (1) – The Scratch Ticket Launches & Advertising Awareness Ø Ad awareness for the Colorado Lottery has remained relatively steady in W 17 at more than one-half of total respondents. After peaking at 65% in W 14 (the highest awareness since W 8), awareness for Colorado Lottery advertising continues a downward trend for the third consecutive wave. Ø However, Holiday games (various) garnered the highest unaided ad awareness this wave, driven by Reindeer Game and Holiday Sparkle, while the $50 Granted Wishes ticket hit 2%. Ø The Reindeer Game advertisement hit an impressive 31% for aided Ad recall, compared to 21% recall of the consistent #1 game ‘ 7 -11 -21’. Ø Aided ad awareness remained steady in W 17 for other Colorado games, with Powerball (38%) and Scratch Games (36%) leading the way. Ø More than two-fifths of respondents are aware of the Colorado Lottery tagline “Expect the Unexpected, ” a directional increase (+4%) from the previous wave. Ø 1 in 10 Coloradoans are aware of the Colorado Lottery being a sponsor at both September Festivals. Ø Similarly, only 10% of players saw a Colorado Lottery in-store promotions, and among those who did, 17% claimed they saw messages about ‘bundles/packages’ of lottery games. 7

Key Findings (2) – Playership, Overall & Drawing Games Ø Colorado Lottery overall ‘ever

Key Findings (2) – Playership, Overall & Drawing Games Ø Colorado Lottery overall ‘ever played’ playership continued at a three in four clip, with a slight decrease (-1%) from last wave (74%). Ø LOTTO (-5%) reported a significant decrease in ‘ever played’ playership in W 17. Ø Powerball past month playership remained stable at nearly one in five (19%), producing a marginal decrease (-1%) from last wave. This continues a steady decline since W 14 (31%). Ø Again, nearly three-fifths (57%) of respondents indicate a likelihood to purchase lottery games in the future, similar to last wave. Ø Powerball players (40%) claiming to spend more as the jackpot grows has significantly decreased (-8%) in W 17 and additionally, the average hypothetical jackpot amount at which players began spending more on Powerball decreased (+$24 m) to $136 M. 8

Key Findings (3) – Playership, Overall & Drawing Games (2) Ø Mega Millions, once

Key Findings (3) – Playership, Overall & Drawing Games (2) Ø Mega Millions, once again, is falling into Powerball’s shadow. The number of players who are spending more on Mega Millions (and lowering Powerball spend) when the jackpot is high and the Powerball jackpot is low, has fallen back again, from 32% to 28%. Furthermore, the level of players spending more on Mega Millions (and keeping Powerball spend the same) has trended directionally down since W 15 to a low of 11%. Ø ‘Coloradolottery. com’ (21%) is the top source in W 17 for finding out about jackpots, sporting a modest increase (+2%) from the previous wave. Additionally, Facebook (7%) and Twitter (2%) reported significant increases, while digital signs at retail (18%) dropped significantly. Ø One in five of those who played Pick 3 in the past year are ‘very interested’ in the game, similar to last wave. However, more than one-third are ‘somewhat interested’, a directional increase this wave. Ø About two-thirds who play Pick 3 use a $1 bet, an uptick from last wave, continuing an upwards, positive trend since W 14. 9

Key Findings (4) – Scratch Games, Vending Machines, Monitors Ø The gap continues to

Key Findings (4) – Scratch Games, Vending Machines, Monitors Ø The gap continues to open up between those spending more and those spending less on Scratch over the past year, from -9% (W 16) to -11% (W 17). The proportion of players spending claiming to spend either more or less has increased significantly from last wave. Ø More than two-thirds (70%) of all Scratch players have purchased tickets from Lottery Vending Machines, up significantly (+9%) from last wave. Ø The level to which players are increasing their Lottery spend by using vending machines bounced back slightly this wave (+3%), after decreasing significantly from W 15 to W 16. Ø As in the previous wave, nearly one-half (45%) of Coloradoans have very/somewhat positive feelings toward the Lottery in W 17, down just -1% versus W 16. Ø Likelihood to recommend the Colorado Lottery remained at nearly 25% (top 3 box). Ø About one in seven (15%) claim a news story will affect their spend on Lottery in a minor OR major way, a significant decrease from W 16 (20%). Ø In-store video monitor awareness reported a slight uptick this wave (+2% to 37%), with approximately half recall seeing the monitors at the checkout or customer service area. Ø The main reason for using video monitors continues to be ‘to check the jackpot sizes’, however, there has been a significant increase from W 16 ‘to check the Colorado Lottery news’. 10

Recommendations/Insights 1. Lottery Vending Machine-based purchases increased this wave to an all-time high of

Recommendations/Insights 1. Lottery Vending Machine-based purchases increased this wave to an all-time high of 70%, potentially driven by players feeling either more comfortable with the vending machines, and/or stores being busier due to the holiday period. The Colorado Lottery could potentially utilize the machines, and the areas directly surrounding the machines, even more, to inform players of new lottery promotions, marketing and games. 2. The price of the ticket, with the launch of the $50 Scratch range, is even more prominent now in the eyes of the consumer. The CO Lottery could explore the opportunity for a $100 Scratch ticket, or even price points in-between the current range (perhaps a $30 or $40 ticket). 3. Over the past couple of waves, there has not been as strong a positive sentiment towards the Colorado Lottery, so there is still an opportunity for the Lottery to reinforce the benefits of the Lottery and where the proceeds go, across all media types, on a more continuous basis. It is important to at least help Millennials shape a more positive view of the Lottery as a whole, to help shape the future base for CO Lottery sales. However, increased advertising has not moved the needle. 4. Lotto, as a stand-alone game, continues to see a slow but steady decline in play. The Lottery would probably be best leaving the game to continue, without any unnecessary promotions or marketing, as the core Lotto players (generally an aging population) will play no matter what. 11

Recommendations/Insights 5. The $300 m mark now appears to be the key entry point

Recommendations/Insights 5. The $300 m mark now appears to be the key entry point for the National Jackpot games for lapsed/casual players. The news media also seems to pay far more attention to the $300 m mark, and the Colorado Lottery should start to be find more creative ideas to tempt causal players in at lower jackpot levels such as $150 or $200 m. Powerball currently has a distinct competitive advantage than Mega Millions, particularly in legacy Powerball states such as Colorado, which does not bode well for Mega Millions in the short-term. 6. It is important, given the current $800 m+ Powerball jackpot, to check to see exactly which other games have seen an halo effect of increased sales, simply through an increase in Lottery traffic. 12
