NEW YORK – (Press Release) -- Scientific Games Corporation (Nasdaq: SGMS) announced that the Texas Lottery Commission named Scientific Games the apparent successful proposer as the result of an emergency solicitation for instant ticket manufacturing and services. The contract is valued at $3.8 million dollars for the initial six-month term and includes an additional six-month option at the Texas Lottery's sole discretion.
