promotional article for unimportant company. Claims a technical innovation, but it's actually pretty trivial, and there is no indication that it is unique. The references are either from its own site, or press releasers from local business journals--a notoriously undiscriminating type of source, or routine announcements.

 * Delete. Pure promotion, no evident notability. --Calton | Talk 07:44, 18 September 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete - There reference which verify its existence, but they all fall well short of WP:CORPDEPTH. --CNMall41 (talk) 20:42, 18 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep - This company's technology is a big deal in the lottery industry, which is very large - lots of Americans play it. Completely turning the way that people play the lottery on their head w/ modernization is quite notable, in my opinion. There are plenty of these sources, too, in my opinion. (14 at last count - including Time Magazine, Georgia Business Daily, Progressive Grocer [industry trade publication], etc.). This article is encyclopedic because it should be noted who invented this transformative lottery technology. Thanks for considering my views.

 * Delete. Utter corporate spam crap with gems like created the technology that allows people to and Five plays on the Lottery Cards cost ten dollars., totally fails WP:SPIP. References are the usual promotional churnalistic pieces or company announcements, totally fails WP:ORGIND and/or WP:CORPDEPTH. Wikipedia is not a platform for promotion. Fails GNG and WP:NCORP.
