Pollard Banknote Electrifies its Licensed Games Portfolio with the Addition of Chevrolet® Silverado® EV

WINNIPEG, MB, May 17, 2022 /PRNewswire/ – Pollard Banknote Limited (TSX: PBL) ("Pollard Banknote") is pleased to announce the addition of the first-ever, all-electric Chevrolet® truck—Silverado® EV—to its portfolio of licensed properties, available for use on printed tickets. The Silverado® EV joins fellow Chevrolet brands Silverado® and Corvette® Stingray™ in Pollard Banknote's licensed game collection, forming a powerful trio of brands for its loyal and passionate fanbase.  

With more than 20 million Chevy™ trucks on the road today, the addition of the Silverado® EV is bound to excite players and be an incredible addition to a lottery's game line-up. The all-new Silverado® EV was unveiled at the Consumer Electronic Show 2022, and will debut as a 2024 model, available in fall 2023. The all-electric truck was built from the ground up, and is powered with a range of 400 miles (640 kilometers) on a full charge and up to 10,000 pounds (4,534 kilograms) of max towing. Silverado® aficionados and lottery players alike will want to pick up instant tickets featuring the first-ever, all-electric version of the legendary truck, with a chance to be amongst the earliest to own it.

Silverado® joined Pollard Banknote's licensed games portfolio in 2018. Since then, the brand has been launched six times across five jurisdictions, with players revved up to play and potentially win a Chevrolet Silverado® truck or a cash prize.

"Chevrolet Silverado® is one of the most dependable, longest-lasting full-size trucks on the road, and is the best-selling full-size pickup truck among U.S. buyers ages 18 to 34," notes Brad Thompson, Vice President, Sales & Marketing, Pollard Banknote. "The vehicle category is entrenched in the lottery industry, and we are excited to expand our licensed games portfolio to include the Silverado® EV as automakers shift to produce more electric vehicle options for consumers."

To support strong sales and engagement, Pollard Banknote's Licensed Games team offers lotteries a comprehensive turnkey program that includes the design, programming, and printing of themed tickets, as well as various optional enhancements such as second chance draws, merchandise prizing, experiential prizing, POS programs, and digital marketing.
