Cash Pop launches in Pennsylvania, the 17th US jurisdiction to offer the game
Pennsylvania becomes the first lottery to introduce Cash Pop with a $20 price point at launch
Brightstar continues broader expansion across US and international lottery markets

Brightstar Lottery has announced the rollout of its patented Cash Pop draw game with the Pennsylvania Lottery, marking the product's debut in its 17th US jurisdiction.

The game, which offers four daily drawings and multiple price points, introduces a $20 wager tier in Pennsylvania - making it only the second lottery in the country to provide that option.

The Cash Pop format allows players to select a single number and set their own wager amount, aiming to offer simple mechanics paired with flexible, personalised gameplay.

Commenting on the development, Pennsylvania Lottery Executive Director Drew Svitko stated: "Brightstar's Cash Pop game will enhance the Pennsylvania Lottery's draw-game portfolio and engage new players with its easy-to-play game mechanics.

"We believe the game's personalized gameplay experiences will resonate with our players and enable us to generate more funds for programs that benefit older Pennsylvanians."

Scott Gunn, Brightstar COO of North America Lottery, added: "Building on our strong momentum to expand the reach of our exciting, proprietary game, we are thrilled that Brightstar's Cash Pop game is now live with the innovative Pennsylvania Lottery.

"The Cash Pop game has proven successful throughout the US, and now the Pennsylvania Lottery can generate more funds for programs that benefit older residents with simple and flexible gameplay features that players enjoy."

The expansion comes during a period of sustained activity for Brightstar, which serves nearly 90 lottery customers globally and is the primary technology provider to 26 US lottery jurisdictions.

Recent developments include a two-year extension of its technology contract in Texas, new terminal deployments in Malaysia and an expanded game-supply partnership with Sazka in the Czech Republic.
