 Special Ongoing Feature:

 Preparing for a

post-coronavirus world 

 Paul Jason, PGRI Introduction: I asked lottery directors and industry leaders to share their views on the impact of the pandemic crisis and how Lottery might respond to the economic repercussions that follow.  I so appreciate their thoughtful responses and am sure you will too.  Thank you so much for your generosity and leadership! 

We will try to post one a day.  Some of the talking points: 
--  How will the world be different when we come out of this crisis - and how will the lottery industry, retailing, consumer shopping and recreational behavior be different?  
--  What should we be doing to position our businesses for success in the post-coronavirus world?  
--  Lottery has historically performed better than other sectors in an economic recession.  How severely will the economic repercussions of coronavirus impact Lottery?  
--  What opportunities will emerge in the post-coronavirus world?  
--  Crises tend to upend the risk-return calculus of innovation to favor innovation - Do you think this crisis will accelerate the adoption of new game categories, new technologies, new business processes and distributional methods?     
--  How might we reinforce the symbiotic relationship that Lottery has always had with its retail partners? 
--  What are some of the new challenges and obstacles that we will need to adjust to?
