programs jumped to mind? Which seeds specifically?

What are you most proudest of? What accomplishments? I have to say it's the Baby Step Savings Plan.

It was something I ran on in 2014.

I said we would not use taxpayer dollars, so I had to figure out a way to create a 501 under the Office of Economic Empowerment, which we now have, in order to create public-private partnerships.

And then, like I always do, we did a pilot, because pilots really inform you as to what is effective.

And we made a determination that the best way to seed these accounts for kids was to begin at birth.

It gave them the most time to be impacted by our program.

Maybe speak a little bit to the revenue generation that comes from this online wing of the lottery.

And what kind of success has it had so far?

Well, I'm a person who doesn't count their chickens before they're hatched.

But we have already been the number one lottery in kicking it off and creating more revenue than any other lottery has before.

which is pretty amazing.

I'm trying to think exactly because I also heard more recent numbers, but we don't have a full month yet.

But over $110 million has been wagered, surpassing $100 million in 26 days.

And as I said, faster than any other state that has launched iLottery.

Well, is this just moving revenue around from different sources at this point or is there a bigger bottom line here?

Why was this so important to you?

Well, I'll tell you, Kim, it really struck me.

I happened to have been at a Red Sox game at Fenway Park, and I saw this thing flashing that said Daily Fantasy Sports.

And I said, gee, what is that? And then all of a sudden, I started seeing it everywhere, and I went...

oh no, this is going to hurt the lottery.

And having been a local elected official and understanding how critical lottery dollars were and continue to be to all the local communities in the state, I said we need to be watching this very carefully and what else is going on in the country very carefully because our lottery is not for profit.

It is to benefit people who live throughout Massachusetts.

Well, is this just moving revenue around from different sources at this point, or is there a bigger bottom line here?
