Business opportunities: instant lottery in Greece
Athens, Greece > The Finance Ministry of Greece has confirmed plans to bring back Xysto, a
widely popular instant lottery that was suspended in 2003 when a tender to renew its contract
award stalled. Greek Secretary General of Finance Constantinos Mihalos announced that a new
State oganization will be established by the end of this year to manage the scratch lottery
business. This new organization will be a small replica of the Greek Organization of Football
Prognostics S.A. (OPAP) and it is estimated that its operation will not be awarded to an
individual company.
The Greek government is currently working towards the upgrading of its state lottery
infrastructure and the technology of the relevant department to handle this project.
For more information, interested Canadian firms who have the appropriate technology,
know-how or equipment should contact:
