MASSACHUSETTS STATE LOTTERY / CASE STUDY

We love working on fresh concepts, ideas and technologies that break industry standards and generate online traction. 

THE CHALLENGE

SF AppWorks and Massachusetts State Lottery collaborated to build multi-platform native apps for iOS, Android, and Windows mobile devices. These apps would enable users to create an account and view real-time draws happening on remote servers, featuring two different games: "Keno-to-go" and "All-or-Nothing-to-go." Although these games were previously available on web, there was no existing mobile/tablet version for players.

SECURITY FIRST 🔒

While the digital lottery experience needed to be visually exciting, seamlessly functional, and fun to use, it was first and foremost a government agency project. Meaning, on top of a speedy interface for a high-volume user base of varied devices, app activity needed to be powered in a privacy-protected environment.

VENDOR NAVIGATION

A feature for users to search and locate nearby vendors with an interactive an animation-filled UI.

RESPONSIVE DESIGN
We constructed various designs to accommodate for various compatibility needs, from the smallest iPhones all the way up to the largest tablets.

APPROACH

To create the responsive designs, code a clean architecture allowing seamless implementation of complex visual elements, and test along the way, we worked in two-week sprints of development and QA. Each sprint ended in demo drops for our client, ensuring quality and satisfaction throughout the building process.
