Idaho Lottery's Fourth Frogger Scratch Game Leaps to The Top of the Sales Charts!
WINNIPEG, MB, June 9, 2021 /CNW/ - Pollard Banknote Limited (TSX: PBL) ("Pollard Banknote") congratulates the Idaho Lottery on the outstanding success of its 40th Anniversary Edition Frogger scratch game. The new $5 Frogger scratch game marks the Lottery's fourth launch of a ticket featuring the wildly popular Frogger brand, exclusively from Pollard Banknote. Based on five weeks of sales, Frogger sold a remarkable 160% higher than all other $5 games launched since 2018 and is the Lottery's best-selling $5 game ever!
To help celebrate Frogger's 40th Anniversary, the Idaho Lottery added a new bonus area to the ticket—the Cash Splash Spot—where players can scratch to win $40 instantly. In addition to winning instant cash prizes, the game offers players the opportunity to enter their non-winning $5 Frogger tickets into a 2nd chance draw to win weekly prizes of $100.
"As the timeless brand appeal of Frogger demonstrates, this game literally leaps off the shelves in stores and is a favorite among Lottery players," said Jeff Anderson, Idaho Lottery Director. "Each iteration of Frogger has met with tremendous sales success, which ultimately benefits Idaho public schools and buildings."
"The Frogger brand, which is part of Pollard Banknote's popular Video Game Classics collection, has continually proven to be a top-seller for the Idaho Lottery and this latest edition is no different," said Brad Thompson, Vice President, Sales & Marketing, Pollard Banknote. "Leveraging the excitement of the brand's anniversary, exciting 2nd chance promotions and new play features, we are thrilled to see that the appeal of Frogger is stronger than ever with Idaho Lottery players. We look forward to continuing to work with the Lottery to bring its players innovative game concepts and playstyles for years to come."
