Brightstar signs nine-year agreement to operate Italy Lotto
Brightstar Lottery announced today that its subsidiary, LottoItalia S.r.l., has finalized an agreement to operate the Italy Lotto for nine years through November 2034.
The consortium led by Brightstar, which includes Allwyn, Arianna 2001, and Novomatic Italia, was formally awarded the license in July 2025 by the Agenize delle Dogane e dei Monopoli following a competitive bid process.

“We are delighted to finalize our agreement with ADM and honored to continue being entrusted to operate Italy Lotto,” said Renato Ascoli, Brightstar CEO, Global Lottery, in a press release statement.
Brightstar currently serves nearly 90 lottery customers across six continents. The company acts as the primary technology provider to 26 of the 46 lottery jurisdictions in the United States and eight of the world’s 10 largest lotteries.
