Lottoland Hackathon 2019 "Alexa project"

During the annual Hackathon event, we met different departments including developers, POs, marketing, and BI. All were challenged to create new ideas and develop functional prototypes. We decided to move forward with the Alexa Lottery connectivity.

  • Create a useful Alexa skill related to playing the lotto
  • Take advantage of the public move towards digital assistants (which arenʼt going to become self-aware and go all terminator on everyone)
  • Analyzed and facilitated customer's most desirable features when they were playing the lottery.
