The Michigan Lottery and its technology partner Instant Win Gaming (IWG) have signed a contract extension that runs through July 2032. The six-year deal continues a relationship in place since 2016, when the Michigan Lottery became the first US jurisdiction to integrate IWG’s remote game server.
Michigan Lottery Secures Continued Access to eInstant Content
Under the extension the Michigan Lottery will retain access to IWG’s portfolio of InstantGames, including Wild Time Triple Play and Gem7’s Triple Play. IWG is developing and releasing new eInstant content at a rapid clip, supplying the lottery with fresh titles that elevate its player offerings.
“We are incredibly proud to extend our partnership with Michigan Lottery since 2016, when the Lottery became the first in the US to integrate with IWG’s InstantRGS (remote game server). The integration provides the Michigan Lottery with a further six years,” Jason Lisiecki, EVP at IWG, said, commenting on the fresh partnership.
IWG Deepens US and North American Footprint
Lisiecki welcomed the chance to strengthen IWG’s position in the United States and North America, noting that Michigan remains one of the leading states for digital lottery innovation. Both parties will continue to deliver the best and most innovative experiences while pursuing a larger commercial footprint and broader reach.
The contract removes near-term renewal pressure and lets each side concentrate on steady content delivery and platform reliability through the full term.

Long runway, stable platform, rapid content refresh — Michigan chose iteration over interruption, and that's how winning digital lotteries operate.
We see this play out across regulated channels: procurement fatigue kills momentum. Michigan and IWG just bought six years to test, learn, and scale without RFP distractions. For suppliers and state partners, predictable relationships unlock better economics and faster innovation than three-year hamster wheels.
