What’s Up Interactive Launches Second Microsite for Georgia Lottery

PRLog (Press Release) - Oct 06, 2009 -
Atlanta interactive marketing agency What’s Up Interactive has launched the second microsite for Georgia Lottery Corporation, www.PlayFalconsLottery.com.  The site is a hub for the instant game’s second chance drawings, offering prizes like a VIP suite at the Georgia Dome for an Atlanta Falcons game, or an AirTran Airways flight to a Falcons away game for 10.

Designed to reflect the excitement of the large cash rewards and extravagant second chance drawing prizes, PlayFalconsLottery.com is the second project What’s Up has launched for Georgia Lottery since their partnership began this summer.

“This is a game-changer,” says Richard Warner, CEO of What’s Up. “The prizes are incredible, you’ve got three of the most powerful brands in Georgia and players are going to have a lot of fun! We’re proud to be a part of the action.”

The first microsite What’s Up designed and developed for Georgia Lottery was www.sitandwingames.com: the online portal for their new roster of games that can be played at select social establishments around the state.  The site features interactive How to Play and How to Win tutorials for Deal or No Deal, Lucky Dough, and Rolling Jackpot, a retailer locator and calendar of events.

"Our Atlanta Falcons $500,000 Touchdown instant game and the corresponding second chance drawings are great fun for football fans and lottery players," said Georgia Lottery President and CEO Margaret DeFrancisco. "As with all of our games, the ultimate winners are the students of Georgia. Every dollar we raise benefits lottery-funded Pre-K and HOPE Scholarships."

What’s Up is now in the process of designing and developing a new and refreshed GaLottery.com, slated to go live this winter.
