The error resulted in a do-over drawing January 16, the suspension of a number of employees, and lingering government investigations. But on New Year’s Day 2018, the lottery corporation experienced another setback when a five-member drawing team excluded nearly half of the eligible tickets from a New Year’s Day Super Draw game. Turner led the corporation to unprecedented financial success. The lottery’s top position has been vacant ever since, but various individuals have temporarily served as acting leaders, including Farricker.įollowing him, the then-chief-of-strategy Chelsea Turner assumed the role as acting CEO. He was not keen on the private management model because it makes the day-to-day work more challenging. The state’s lottery is one of only three in the country to use a private company to manage its day-to-day operations, and Smith was charged with transitioning to the corporation’s second ever private manager. Smith stepped into that role in 2016, at a time when Illinois Lottery’s private management company had recently been terminated. Prior to joining the Connecticut Lottery, he served as the Director of the Illinois Lottery - a state agency with a $2.8 billion budget and more than 7,500 retail outlets statewide.

“Wrapping the whole thing up and having the audit reports written about it… making sure the lottery and the Department of Consumer Protection will all say the matter is finalized….
“These matters need to be resolved,” he said.
