Ensuring Draw Continuity
Szrek2Solutions offers a remote draw service to ensure the continuity of lottery draws
Why are we offering this remote backup solution?
This is a draw solution to support lotteries when performing regular draws may not be possible. Draw staff can perform draw functions from remote locations, including from their homes, while maintaining full draw security. This solution can provide backup for all lottery games and for all types of draws, including mechanical and manual electronic draws.
How does it work?
Lottery draw staff connect to Szrek2Solutions’ Trusted Draw™(TD) and Trusted Audit™ (TA) systems hosted at secure IGT corporation’s data centers in West Greenwich, RI and Austin, TX. Through a secure, remote connection, draw and audit functions are performed with a graphic user interface (GUI), ensuring the utmost security and auditability of all draws. Draw managers are able to perform draws with auditors and observers through screen sharing, according to lottery procedures. In addition, to guarantee the randomness and integrity of draw outcomes, lotteries obtain irrefutable proof of integrity for each draw, (see proof of integrity video) which their staff verify on the Trusted Audit system.
Draw managers, draw auditors, and draw observers connect remotely to the draw system (TD) and verification system (TA), accessing the draw and audit applications.
